Hermès Buys Record $400M Rodeo Drive Property

The luxury fashion brand expands its flagship store on the iconic Beverly Hills shopping strip.

Published on Feb. 11, 2026

French luxury fashion house Hermès has purchased a record-breaking $400 million property on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California. The new location will be twice the size of Hermès' current store just a few doors down, which the company bought 15 years ago. The purchase is the most expensive retail real estate acquisition on the famed drive in more than two decades.

Why it matters

This record-breaking deal highlights the continued strength of the luxury retail market, even as other sectors have struggled. It also demonstrates Hermès' commitment to expanding its physical presence on one of the world's most prestigious shopping destinations.

The details

Hermès' new 25,000-square-foot location at 338 N. Rodeo Drive is currently home to three other fashion stores: Tom Ford, Balenciaga, and Moncler. It's unclear what Hermès plans to do with the properties, as the current tenants' leases aren't up for a few more years. However, luxury retailers have been expanding their flagship stores, even as other retailers have been shrinking their U.S. footprint.

  • The record-breaking $400 million property acquisition was announced in the summer of 2025.
  • Hermès bought its current Rodeo Drive storefront 15 years ago.
