Overview
- West Coast Chabad announced plans to convert the 16-story, 300,000-square-foot tower at 9911 W. Pico Blvd. into the Chabad Campus for Jewish Life, which leaders frame as a strengthening step during rising antisemitism.
- The transfer closed on Jan. 9, when Chabad leaders and supporters gathered at the site and affixed a mezuzah to the front door.
- Chabad officials say a fall appraisal valued the property at about $103 million after Alon Abady bought it for $35 million in 2023.
- The campus is outlined to include a synagogue, classrooms, life-cycle venues, youth and senior programs, mental-health and social services, museums using multimedia, and space for large communal and international events.
- Located in Pico-Robertson near Century City and Beverly Hills, the site carries by-right residential conversion entitlements that preserve future redevelopment options.
