Hermès Revealed as Buyer of $400 Million Rodeo Drive Properties

The deal highlights scarce long‑term vacancies on Rodeo Drive, signaling a shift toward brands owning flagship space.

Overview

  • The adjoining parcels total about 25,000 square feet at 338 N. Rodeo Drive and include storefronts leased to Tom Ford, Balenciaga and Moncler.
  • Existing tenant leases run for several more years, leaving Hermès' immediate plans for the site unspecified.
  • CBRE calls the acquisition the most expensive Beverly Hills retail deal since the early 2000s.
  • Broker Jay Luchs of Newmark says luxury houses are increasingly buying their real estate and enlarging flagship footprints.
  • CBRE’s Houman Mahboubi reports only one storefront is available for long‑term lease on Rodeo Drive, with strong demand pushing values higher.
