Balfour Beatty Completes Hollywood Mixed-Use Tower for Less than Expected

Balfour Beatty Construction recently announced that it has completed a high-end mixed-use tower in Hollywood at a considerably lower cost than was originally estimated. The company’s Southwest Division finished a project it had been developing for real estate and infrastructure investment firm CIM Group at a total cost of $76.2 million, roughly $12 million less than what was initially committed to the project. The change comes from the use of the contractor’s cast-in-place structures, as well as a re-design of the building’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
