Los Angeles is entering one of its most transformative luxury development cycles in decades. While Century City, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and DTLA continue to evolve, a new reality is reshaping the high end: the implications of ULA on luxury investment—and the massive wildfire-driven reconstruction cycle unfolding across the Palisades, Malibu, Altadena, and beyond.
With interest rates easing and UHNW buyers selectively re-engaging, what will define demand in 2026? Which corridors are primed for the next wave of value creation? And how are developers, architects, and brokers navigating design standards, reconstruction timelines, and shifting capital preferences?
Join The Real Deal and BSH for a forward-looking conversation on design-forward development, luxury sales strategy, reconstruction-led growth, and where the highest-value opportunities will lie in 2026.
