Located at the intersection of Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and Los Angeles, Apres Beverly Grove will replace long-vacant storefronts with a vibrant new address designed to spark neighborhood revitalization. The eight-story development will feature 124 spacious luxury residences, including five penthouse units with private balconies, as well as ground-floor retail to re-energize the local business community. Amenities will include a resort-style pool, club lounge, fitness center, and a full-service spa with treatment rooms.

“We are grateful for the trust and excited to deploy our team’s expertise on a project that will revitalize an underused area into a destination that attracts residents, supports businesses, and creates good jobs. This is about building Los Angeles forward — shaping communities that reflect both the city’s heritage and its future,” said Andrew Clark, President, Southern California at Build Group.

Designed by Steinberg Hart, with interiors by Rodrigo Vargas Design (RVD & Associates) and landscaping by MJS Landscaping, Apres Beverly Grove combines world-class architecture with a deep sensitivity to place. The development will restore vitality to a once-dormant corridor along San Vicente and Third Street, where empty storefronts had become symbols of stalled growth.

Apres Beverly Grove is part of a broader effort to reimagine key corridors across Los Angeles by transforming dormant commercial parcels into housing-centered, mixed-use destinations. The development underscores the city’s commitment to addressing California’s urgent housing shortage while also generating momentum for local retail and small businesses.

Demolition on the site began in July, with shoring and foundation work now underway. The project is expected to be completed in mid-2027, delivering not just a new address but a renewed vision for the community.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The National Governors Association will no longer hold a formal meeting with President Donald Trump when the group of state leaders meet in Washington later this month after the White House planned to invite only Republicans.

“NGA staff was informed that the White House intends to limit invitations to the annual business meeting, scheduled for February 20, to Republican governors only,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican who is the chairman of the NGA, said in a Monday letter to fellow governors obtained by The Associated Press. “Because NGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors, the Association is no longer serving as the facilitator for that event, and it is no longer included in our official program.”

The NGA is scheduled to meet in Washington from Feb. 19-21. Representatives for Stitt, the White House and the NGA didn't immediately comment on the letter.

The governors group is one of the few remaining venues where political leaders from both major parties gather to discuss the top issues facing their communities.

But signs of partisan tensions emerged at the White House meeting last year, when Trump and Maine's then-Gov. Janet Mills traded barbs.

Trump singled out the Democratic governor over his push to bar transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, threatening to withhold federal funding from the state if she did not comply. Mills responded, “We’ll see you in court.”

Trump then predicted that Mills’ political career would be over for opposing the order. She is now running for U.S. Senate.

The back and forth had a lasting impact on last year’s conference and some Democratic governors did not renew their dues last year to the bipartisan group.
