This investment supports our belief in exceptional projects that cater to the diverse and comprehensive lifestyle needs of today's consumers. Cain International is committed to supporting outstanding businesses driving long-term value in gateway markets like LA.”

“Following the success of several real estate projects in the UK, I am excited to work with Cain International as it expands its U.S. portfolio with a significant investment in a marquee property on the West Coast,” adds Alagem's CEO Beny Alagem. “Cain International brings its collective experience in the real estate world to support the success of the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, as well as the future revitalization of the Beverly Hilton.”

The 63-year-old Beverly Hilton has hosted a great number of high-profile entertainment, charitable and political events over the years, including the Golden Globe Awards and the Milken Institute Global Conference.
