BEVERLY HILLS 💎 BUILDER'S REMEDY PROJECT
A 19 story, 30 unit tower at 145 Rodeo Drive and a 14 story mixed use project at 9229 Wilshire Boulevard have been approved, adding new housing and retail to the city. A 26 story, 200 unit Crescent Heights tower at 8844 Burton Way remains under review. These projects fall under the state’s Builder’s Remedy, allowing denser housing while Beverly Hills works to meet state housing goals.
PALMS 🌴 LANA OPENS
A seven story mixed use project called Lana has opened at 10375 Washington Boulevard, adding 139 apartments and street level retail by Guo Rui Group and Kevin Tsai Architecture. The building includes a pool, courtyards, and 14 affordable units through the Transit Oriented Communities program. With its clean design and walkable setting, Lana continues Palms’ steady shift toward a denser, transit connected neighborhood.

WEST HOLLYWOOD 🏨 PUBLIC WEST HOLLYWOOD
The hotelier behind Studio 54 is opening Public West Hollywood in spring 2026 on the bones of the old Standard Hotel (and 1962 Thunderbird Motel before that), promising luxury for all pricing with a 16,000-square-foot rooftop terrace and a disco called Giorgio's after genre godfather Giorgio Moroder. Schrager's second LA property (joining West Hollywood Edition a mile down the Strip) will feature two restaurants, a ground-floor pool, and what he calls a new age nightclub with immersive sound and non-stop, hot, sweaty dancing but no flashing lights.
DENNYS 🍳 $620M DEAL
The Lakewood-born breakfast chain is being acquired by TriArtisan Capital, Treville Capital, and major franchisee Yadav Enterprises for $6.25 per share, a 52% premium that sent stock up 47% after hours Monday. Denny's contacted over 40 potential buyers after announcing plans last fall to close 150 underperforming locations amid post-pandemic struggles with delivery demands and competition from healthier chains like First Watch. The deal is expected to close in Q1 2026, taking the 72-year-old chain private for the first time since its 1969 NYSE debut.
BEVERLY HILLS 📈 NEW EATS + SHOPS
Beverly Hills added a wave of new restaurants and retailers this year, with leasing volume jumping nearly 40% to 99,000 square feet last quarter even as vacancy ticked up 20% year-over-year. Asking rents hit $7.06 per square foot (West LA averages $4.50), and new arrivals include Marea Beverly Hills, Mei Lin's 88 Club, and Louis Vuitton's 45,000-square-foot Frank Gehry flagship. Coming in 2026: Sushi Nakazawa, Sant Ambroeus' West Coast debut, and Nate 'n Al's relocation within the Golden Triangle, but brokers warn leased signs now outnumber for lease across the city.

DIE MY LOVE 🎬 JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Jennifer Lawrence shot Lynne Ramsay's brutal Montana motherhood drama while pregnant with her second kid, then watched it ten times battling postpartum depression, flipping her read on whether Grace kills herself in the end. The newly dropped trailer teases rare Kodak ektachrome stock, Robert Pattinson as her husband, and Sissy Spacek as mother-in-law while Lawrence tells THR promoting the film feels like 'your whole diary is about to be ripped apart.' Mubi dropped $24m at Cannes in May for what could land Lawrence her first Oscar nomination in a decade when it hits theaters Friday.
BOX OFFICE 🍿 WEEKEND RECAP
Paramount's Regretting You jumped to first with $8.1m, barely beating Black Phone 2 ($8m) for the lowest grossing number one of 2025. Halloween and World Series crushed the box office to $55m total, down 23.2% year over year. Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters flopped with $5.3m after its $19.2m August launch, while Back to the Future pulled $4.7m across 2,290 screens for its 40th anniversary. Next weekend Predator: Badlands injects franchise juice with Elle Fanning's Weyland-Yutani synthetic promising an Alien tie-in.

DODGERS 🧢 KYLE TUCKER
The Dodgers could absorb Kyle Tucker's $400M deal to fill left field after Mookie Betts' subpar season, or grab Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami (24 HR in 69 games) as a cheaper alternative. Back-to-back champs need youth after fielding baseball's oldest position group. The Angels might finally chase a real starter in Zac Gallen (13-15, 4.83 ERA) with Tyler Anderson and Kyle Hendricks gone. Free agency opens tomorrow at 2:00pm local with Bellinger, Bregman, Alonso, and Schwarber already opting out.
LAKERS 🏀 HOST SPURS
Lakers (6-2) host Spurs (5-1) tonight at 7:00pm on ESPN from Crypto.com Arena. LA rides a four-game win streak, averaging 119.8 PPG (10th in NBA). Austin Reaves leads with 31.1 PPG, while Luka Doncic contributes 41.3 PPG. San Antonio boasts the league's top defense (108.2 PPG allowed) with Victor Wembanyama posting 26.7 PPG and 13.7 RPG. The Lakers are 6-2 ATS this season and have hit the over in seven of eight games. Prediction: Lakers 118, Spurs 113.
