One Beverly Hills is a transformative 17.5-acre mixed-use development at the heart of Beverly Hills, designed with sustainability and wellness at its core. As one of the largest private real estate projects currently underway in the United States, One Beverly Hills will connect the iconic Beverly Hilton and Waldorf Astoria hotels with the West Coast’s first Aman hotel, a limited collection of Aman-branded residences, and an exclusive Aman members club — all centered around 10 acres of botanical gardens and open space.

One Beverly Hills is designed with Southern California’s unique climate and environmental challenges in mind, with technologies and infrastructure that prioritize emissions reduction, energy efficiency, and water conservation. The project features a central geothermal system that harnesses the earth’s consistent subterranean temperature to efficiently provide heating, hot water, and cooling. This significantly reduces energy demand and carbon emissions.

The entire 10-acre landscape, master planned by Foster + Partners and curated by landscape architect RIOS, will be 100% water sustainable.

By leveraging collected rainwater and recycled greywater, the irrigation system will conserve millions of gallons of water annually. The gardens, a tribute to the site’s past as the Beverly Hills Nursery, will showcase over 200 native and water-wise plant species in shaded, walkable spaces, water features, and over 2 miles of pathways.

The new 1.375 million square feet of buildings will be constructed using recycled, low embodied carbon, and low-toxicity materials, including debris recycled from demolished structures. The entire development is designed to promote multimodal mobility, with walkable pathways, integrated bike lanes, and an extensive EV charging infrastructure in the underground parking areas.

The building elevations and façades are designed with shading to minimize sun exposure and evaporation, incorporate natural ventilation, and utilize thermal massing to enhance energy efficiency. Additionally, materials with low embodied carbon and low toxicity have been carefully selected, underscoring the project’s focus on environmental responsibility from structure to finish.
