There’s an upstart upfront on the scene.
Timed to coincide with the television industry’s traditional upfronts presentations — which took place this month featuring fewer stars and amid picket lines — an event featuring some of the leaders of the luxury real estate world gave guests a private sneak peek at a slew of upcoming residential and retail projects at the London Hotel on May 8.
The inaugural invite-only event bills itself as the Upfronts, in a literal play on the name of the TV presentations in which new shows are previewed for ad buyers and press. Agents from Hilton & Hyland, The Agency and Carolwood Estates were among the 70 or so guests in the audience inside the hotel’s screening room, where the presentations kicked off with realtors-to-the stars Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates previewing a house they are building in the Hollywood Hills with Jason Somers of Crest Real Estate.

Irv’s Burgers is back in business — almost.
The beloved burger stand, set to open any day now, returns to the West Hollywood fast-food scene (7998 Santa Monica Blvd.) thanks to backing by Off the Menu founder Lawrence Longo, investments from industry heavyweights like WME talent agent and partner Brad Slater and a roster of celebrities that are being kept under wraps for the time being.
Sonia Hong, the longtime face of the business who owned and operated it since 2000 alongside family members like her brother and mother, is also back, working the counter and doodling on plates with her signature, “Just for you.”
Irv’s had been shuttered since 2018 after years of drama with landlords and many believed it to be gone for good. That was, until, real estate titan Jay Luchs placed a call to Longo tipping him off to an available...

“I had a space on Melrose Place where we had five offers,” says commercial real estate broker Jay Luchs. “I honestly don’t even remember having that before Covid.”
A year ago, L.A.’s top shopping streets in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood were hit hard by the pandemic, with dozens of vacancies as tourism and in-person retail sputtered. Now, heading into fall, Luchs has seen quite a turnaround: “I’m pleasantly surprised with how tenants and landlords have been back trying to get deals done.”

It’s too early to be certain, but there are signs L.A.’s ultra-high-end property market may be cautiously emerging from its coronavirus-induced cocoon. David Geffen recently downsized to a $65 million Beverly Hills estate, Elon Musk sold his $29 million Bel Air main residence to a Chinese billionaire, rapper Travis Scott inked a $23.5 million deal in Brentwood and Seagram heiress Ellen Bronfman and her husband Andrew Hauptman shelled out $21.5 million for a sprawling Malibu compound.
Pacific Palisades resident Hillary Thomas recently went hunting for a residential upgrade, quickly falling for an all-new estate with every designer amenity imaginable and mesmerizing Pacific ocean views. Still-ongoing pandemic notwithstanding, records reveal she received only a small discount on the property. Originally listed with a $26 million pricetag earlier this year — at that time the most expensive listing in the Palisades — the house transferred for $24 million.
Despite the sky-high number, the buyer can easily afford this deluxe estate.

It’s Sonny & Cher — Kim Kardashian West style!
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 37, proved once again that she was a dead ringer for Cher, dressing up for Casamigos’ annual Halloween bash on Friday night in a custom-made outfit that replicated the 71-year-old music icon’s exact look from the 1973 Academy Awards.
“Cher definitely has a better body,” Kardashian West said on Periscope. “Her stomach… I don’t think anyone could compare.”
The reality star uncannily resembled the singer, wearing a long black wig, that was a one-time replacement for her blonde locks. In addition, she used sister Kylie Jenner...
