The Related Group, the developer behind a divisive plan to build a private condo tower on a public Hollywood beach, seems to be anticipating that litigation may be needed to clear its path forward.

But a lawsuit could further delay the mega-millions oceanfront “1301 project” that has been stuck in pre-construction limbo for almost four years. The developer still faces the challenge of convincing resilience experts that a tower built on a low-lying barrier island wouldn’t intensify flooding and other hazards; plus, Related must jump through a series of regulatory hoops at the county and state levels.

In short, a project launched by the Hollywood City Commission in March 2022 is nowhere near breaking ground at the end of 2025.
