Cain and global design collective RIOS have shared additional details regarding the 4.5 acres of botanical gardens that will be open to the public at One Beverly Hills. Set within the historic grounds of the former Beverly Hills Nurseries which later became the Robinson-Mays department store, the gardens will feature two miles of walkways, trails, sitting areas, and water features surrounded by more than 200 species of native and adaptive plants, offering residents and visitors a place to connect with nature.
RIOS’ design draws on California’s biodiversity and takes inspiration from the state’s distinct ecological zones. Species once cultivated by the historic nursery will be reintroduced alongside new plantings. Visitors will encounter pollinator gardens alive with butterflies and hummingbirds, color-themed landscapes, and cascading water features.
Mayor Sharona Nazarian noted, “The forthcoming botanical gardens at One Beverly Hills will bring new life to our city. They reimagine the Western gateway to Beverly Hills, a site that has been a cornerstone of our community for generations. When complete, they will honor our city’s legacy while advancing our commitment to sustainability, beauty, and unity. Residents and visitors will have a new place to gather, connect with nature, and experience Beverly Hills in a way that celebrates both our history and our future.”
Jonathan Goldstein, co-founder and CEO of Cain, observed, “The gardens at One Beverly Hills reflect our belief that community and wellbeing must be at the centre of urban design. From the beginning, our vision has been to create a place that feels part of the fabric of Beverly Hills while welcoming residents and visitors alike. By restoring these historic grounds, we are investing in a landscape that will endure, enrich the city’s cultural identity, and provide future generations with a space to gather, reflect, and connect with nature.”
Additionally, One Beverly Hills has announced that retail and dining partners including Dolce & Gabbana, Casa Tua Cucina, and Los Mochis will be among the brands featured in the project’s 200,000-square-foot curated retail offering.
Phased completion of One Beverly Hills is expected to commence in 2027.
