He was a bit reticent to talk about the upcoming changes, but eventually did reveal a bit of info. Apparently it's true that there will be condos built on the site, but there's no end date that's been made official yet. A plethora of studies still have to be done (environmental impact, traffic impact, etc.) which seem like they could hold up the restaurant's demise for a spell. There has been some disapproval from locals who enjoy the place as well - he talked a bit about how people had been brought there as kids, and how they were now bringing their kids and grandkids as well. That leads me to believe there could be some forces lined up against the "development" of the area.
The Beverly Hills location has been open 51 years according to the gent I spoke with. Go while you can!

I hope it lasts a least a few more weeks.. Trader Vic's is on my must visit list for when I fly out to L.A. in a few weeks... I'm really sad to hear its closing..
