Beverly Hills Election Results: Voters Rejected Measure HH

BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- As voters headed to the polls Tuesday to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and sift through more than a dozen statewide ballot measures, Beverly Hill voters also had to decide whether to allow a 26-story condominium building next to the Beverly Hilton.

Turns out, Beverly Hills residents weren't too keen on the idea. Voters narrowly defeating Measure HH, which would authorize the construction of a 26-story, 345-foot tall condominium building adjacent to the Beverly Hilton, in place of two already-approved residential buildings -- one eight stories and the other 18 stories.

Critics note that at 26 stories, the tower would easily be the tallest building in Beverly Hills. Proponents say combining the two towers into one will allow for more open space, including a planned 1.7-acre public park.
