For Cain International’s One Beverly Hills — a 17.5-acre project that includes the Beverly Hilton, Waldorf Astoria and Aman Hotel Residences & Club —the bubble is #BeverlyHills. “Beverly Hills we think is probably the best bubble on the planet,” says Cain’s Larry Green, who heads up development and operations for the project. “It’s all about that sense of safety, #security and #amenities that you have, all in a very walkable environment.” “The new concept of #mixeduse in L.A. is the sense of appreciation that there is this community that is built in its own ecosystem that’s just so much more than what you get in your house or in your condo,” Hana Cha explains.

Collaborating with the University provides CNB with an expansive platform for generating additional community impact and awareness as the bank pursues continued growth in #SouthFlorida and statewide. “The University of Miami and City National Bank have been fixtures in South Florida for a combined 175 years, and we share a deep commitment to improving our community for future generations,” says Jorge Gonzalez, City National Bank CEO and vice chairman. “That dedication to community forms the foundation for this innovative partnership.
