Fisch Properties has unveiled the look of a 13-story apartment building seeking builder’s remedy approval in Beverly Hills.
The locally based developer led by Bill Fisch filed plans this spring for the 75-unit complex at 9441 West Olympic Boulevard, and just revealed its Streamline-Moderne-like design, Urbanize Los Angeles reported, citing a social media post from Ottinger Architects.
The building would replace a commercial building at Olympic and Beverly Drive.
It joins a similar project proposed on the same corner filed under the builder’s remedy, a loophole in state housing law that lets developers skirt zoning rules in cities that fail to certify their state housing plans, as long as they include at least 20 percent affordable housing.
Plans call for a 190,000-square-foot highrise with 75 apartments, 15 of them set aside as affordable for an unspecified income category.
The building, designed by Venice-based Ottinger Architects, would contain a rooftop deck and 4,000-square-foot of ground-floor shops and restaurants. It would have floor-to-ceiling windows and wrap-around balconies that navigate rounded corners, according to renderings.
“With expansive balconies wrapping around a glass façade, we have integrated the site’s curves into an architectural expression that will bring a residential feel to this bustling intersection,” reads the social media post from the architect.
The project, which was to have been a joint venture with Beverly Hills-based Aflalo Equities, was initially planned for 63 units.
The joint venture also plans for a 10-story, 45-unit highrise filed under the builder’s remedy across the street at 9430 West Olympic Boulevard.
Fisch Properties, founded in 1979 by Len and Selma Fisch, is now owned by their children and grandchildren, with properties in Malibu, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Mid-City, Valley Village, Downtown L.A., Redlands, City of Industry and Montebello, according to its website.
Fisch is a developing arm of Aflalo Equities, according to The Real Deal.
Last month, the Aflalo family unveiled the look of an eight-story, 110-unit apartment complex and supermarket in Beverly Hills slated to replace a Pavilions market at 9467 West Olympic Boulevard. The project, like the Fisch development nearby, is also designed by Ottinger, and would also employ the builder’s remedy.
