Overview

Project overview

Chateau La Peer at 160 N. La Peer Drive sits in the heart of Beverly Hills—an upscale 16-unit condominium building with large residences positioned in the $2.5–$3.5 million range, complete with a pedestal roof deck, fitness center, and underground parking.

Horine Group was brought on initially to provide construction management and fund control when the project had stalled. The assignment was not a clean start; it was a recovery effort. Keeping the project moving required confronting accumulated challenges rather than simply administering a healthy schedule.

Ultimately, Horine Group was also made the general contractor for permitting and took over the project—assuming the responsibility required to push the building through to completion and occupancy.

Objective

The objective

Restart a stalled Beverly Hills condominium project, restore financial and construction control, and deliver the building to completion and occupancy at a luxury product standard consistent with its La Peer location and unit pricing.

Challenge

The challenge

Stalled projects carry a different risk profile than new starts. Relationships may be strained, documentation incomplete, trades uncertain, and capital wary. Chateau La Peer presented exactly that environment: a high-value asset in a premier location that had lost momentum.

Fund control and construction management alone were not enough. To finish the building, Horine Group had to step into a broader delivery role—including becoming general contractor for permitting—so the project had a single accountable path through the remaining approvals and construction work.

Scope

Horine Group’s role

Initial construction management and fund control
Assumption of general contractor responsibilities for permitting
Full project takeover to completion and occupancy
Delivery of pedestal roof deck, fitness center, and underground parking
Coordination required to restore progress on a previously stalled luxury condo program

Approach

How the work was structured

Horine Group began with the controls ownership needed most: construction management visibility and fund control discipline. As the scope of what it would take to finish became clear, the firm expanded into general contracting for permitting and overall project takeover.

That escalation of responsibility is characteristic of solution-based consulting. The objective was not to defend a predefined service line—it was to finish a valuable Beverly Hills building that had stopped moving.

Critical issues

What had to be resolved to finish

Project stall and accumulated delivery challenges—addressed by expanding from CM/fund control into GC permitting and full project leadership.

Luxury product expectations in a premier Beverly Hills location—met by completing the building with amenity and parking features consistent with unit pricing of $2.5–$3.5 million.

Outcome

The result

Chateau La Peer was brought to completion and occupancy. The 16-unit condominium building now stands as an upscale residential address on La Peer Drive—evidence that stalled projects can be recovered when leadership is willing to take on the responsibilities the situation actually requires.
