You may not be willing to pony up $75 million for a luxury condo, but the Four Seasons is betting somebody will. That’s the cost of the penthouse crowning their 12-story private residences complex on the border of Beverly Hills. It should come as no surprise that $75 million is well over the record sale […]
Imagine rushing out to your car in the early hours of the morning, the workday looming ahead of you. You toss your jacket and belongings in the passenger seat, flop down in front of the wheel, crank the ignition and… you’re met with a sound similar to a jet plane firing up its engines. But […]

That’s a lot of opening and closing and we can reasonably expect more of the same over the next few months. The redesigned Sixth Street Bridge was opened to the […]
