"The former site of Boeing’s C-17 production facility in Long Beach is one step closer to being redeveloped.

The Planning Commission voted unanimously at its Thursday, Dec. 17, meeting to recommend the City Council approve the establishment of the Globemaster Corridor Specific Plan, which would guide the future development of 437 acres of land just west of the Long Beach Airport.

The City Council will consider the plan in the spring of 2021..."

^ What they should do is demolish everything, rip up all the pavement, and just create an urban park/forest. Too much of Southern California land is developed, and it looks really unattractive from satellite view. But everything's always about the tax revenue.

Theres a Union Pacific ROW that runs from about the 405/Cherry to the WSAB corridor. Maybe run a Metrolink branch with stops here, Paramount, and Firestone (transfer) before joining up with the 91 Riverside line?

Maybe run a couple shuttles from here to Long Beach airport as well as Willow station?

I support more open space but this is right next to the airport and the 405 freeway. This isn't a bucolic location.

^ Many airports around the world are surrounded by open fields or greenery. Transforming this into a man-made urban forest would also create a buffer for the nearby residential communities, raising their property values.

I'm sorry, but this is nonsense. The problem in Southern California is that most of our cities are grossly underdeveloped. This isn't Iowa, we have 10 million people in LA County alone.

What we need is density and development. Park space needs to be centralized and available to all, not in far-away locations where there are few users and no access.

The idea of the government spending billions on improving the property valuations of largely NIMBY homeowners near the airport couldn't be more absurd.

In an ideal world, the construction of highrises would be completely unrestricted for the entire LA basin, and then your idea could potentially work. However, the reality is that, due to

NIMBYism + really shitty state and local building codes + byzantine approval processes, single-family housing is usually the only thing you can build in SoCal.




So because of all this single-family housing, SoCal has a massive housing shortage, and, ironically, the only immediate solution for this housing shortage is to build even more single-

family housing. This housing takes up a lot of cheap land that would otherwise be free for commercial and industrial use, which has caused a cascade of shortages in commercial and

industrial land. So now, they can either relieve this shortage by redeveloping land which has already been developed (such as this land here), or they can develop undeveloped land,

meaning they have to clear even more wild forest and mediterranean scrub land. Which would you choose?

Aeroplex/Aerolease Group Launches New Solar Energy Project at Long Beach Airport

"Long Beach, CA - Today, Long Beach Airport (LGB) officials celebrated the completion of the largest solar energy project on the Airport campus, marking a milestone in LGB’s growing sustainability program. Aeroplex/Aerolease Group, an aviation property development, consulting and management firm that holds an LGB master lease, installed the new system on their building, which is also host to Signature Flight Support’s fixed base operator (FBO).

“I’m happy to see this successful collaboration between Long Beach Airport and Aeroplex, a leading member of our aviation community,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “Our airport is committed to setting the standard for sustainability among U.S. airports.”

^ I'd like to see this done on every single industrial warehouse across Southern California. So much potential to produce our own energy here.

142-unit Magnolia development opens for residents in Long Beach
The mixed-use building is located at 500 W. Broadway
AUGUST 04, 2022, 10:30AM STEVEN SHARP



In Downtown Long Beach, developer Ensemble Real Estate Investments has completed work on The Magnolia, a mixed-use apartment complex located at 500 W. Broadway.

The project, which sits on a corner lot at Broadway's intersection with Magnolia Avenue, features 142 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments above approximately 4,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a three-level parking garage. Commercial tenants include Sugar Taco, which serves plant-based Mexican food, and Pawspace, a pet daycare, boarding, rooming, and adoption center.

Designed by Urban Architecture Lab, the Magnolia's exterior uses varying exterior finishes and offset floor plates to give texture to its facade. The seven-story building is capped by a rooftop amenity deck, including a swimming pool, a fitness center, a garden terrace, and a gated dog run.

The building's interiors and common spaces were designed by Arial Fox Design, and feature open floor layouts with high ceilings, in-unit washer-dryer sets, and closets with built in shelving. Some units also feature balconies.

^^^ to confuse everyone even more. The fencing is wrapped with "Holland Group" tarps all around. From my knowledge, they aren't even associated with this project but built the one down the street.... Unless this project changed hands within the last year without anyone knowing.

Huge West Gateway complex to break ground next year in Downtown Long Beach

756 homes to replace surface parking next to the World Trade Center

Steven Sharp
Urbanize LA
October 4, 2022

Directly north of the World Trade Center in Downtown Long Beach, construction is set to begin next year for a large mixed-use residential development from Trammell Crow Residential.

The West Gateway project, slated to replace a roughly 5.6-acre parking lot at 600 W. Broadway, was announced in 2018 as part of Mayor Robert Garcia's Building a Better Long Beach presentation. Four years later, The Long Beach Business Journal reports that the Port of Long Beach has finally closed on its sale of the property to Trammell Crow Residential (TCR) for $30.25 million.

West Gateway will include six different buildings featuring 756 residential units, according to the Business Journal. Plans also call for 1,500 parking stalls, the bulk of which would be located in a nine-story garage, serving both residents of the property and users of neighboring hotel and office buildings.

Construction is expected to occur over three phases, the first two of which are expected to begin work in mid-2023, with the first move-ins expected in late 2025.

While plans for the West Gateway site had originally called for the construction of two high-rise buildings: a 21-story tower and a 40-story tower that would have become the tallest in Long Beach, TCR has since scaled back its plans. The smaller of the two high-rises has been eliminated, while the larger structure at Broadway and Golden Avenue has been pared back to a 30-story building. The remaining apartment buildings will stand seven and eight stories in height.

Studio One Eleven is designing the project, which breaks up the development site with new streets and pedestrian paths.

"Historically a neighborhood of smaller structures, this site was cleared for the construction of the World Trade Center and adjacent hotel and parking lots in the 1980s," reads a project description from the firm's website. "This project seeks to break down the megablock, reintroducing the historical street grid and bringing housing, live-work, and retail spaces to round out a vibrant, mixed use district."

In addition to housing, the project is expected to incorporated retail space at Broadway and Maine Avenue, as well as amenities including lounges, a fitness studio, a business center, a swimming pool, a sky deck, and multiple courtyards.

The scale of West Gateway, as its name suggests, will allow the project to serve as a western bookend to Downtown Long Beach, complementing the 35-story Shoreline Gateway tower that recently debuted at Ocean Boulevard and Alamitos Avenue. The project also abuts The Magnolia, a smaller 142-unit apartment complex which recently opened on a property located directly east on Broadway.

^ only bad thing about projs like that is they test my patience in wanting to see them break ground asap.

dtlb is where I'd spend a few summer family vacations yrs ago....back when it was struggling or sketchy...as dtla has/had long been too. So seeing it come back to life is a big relief... also gratifying & long overdue. I wish devlprs throughout the LA basin had been more on the ball over 20, 30 yrs ago....but Rome wasn't built in a day.

More on the Ocean Bl. proposal from Urbanize LA:

21-story residential tower planned at 615 E Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach
Plans call for 203 residential units plus amenities

October 13, 2022
Urbanize LA
Steven Sharp

The site of a shuttered coffee shop in Downtown Long Beach is up for redevelopment with a high-rise apartment building, according to an application now being reviewed by the city's Planning Bureau.

The proposed project, which would rise from a parcel located at 615 E. Ocean Boulevard, is described as a 21-story tower which would feature 203 residential units. Automated parking would be provided for residents in above- and below-grade levels. Project entitlements would include density bonus incentives, allowing relief from certain zoning regulations in exchange for the provision of affordable housing.

In addition to housing, the high-rise would include multiple common areas for residents, including space at the ground-floor, the 14th and 15th floors, and a rooftop pool deck.

City records list the project applicant as WPH Holdings, while ownership data indicates the site is controlled by 615 E. Ocean Boulevard, LLC. The land last sold in June 2021 for approximately $6.2 million.

A rendering for the project was recently included in a social media post advertising an episode of the CivitasLA podcast discussing development in Downtown Long Beach. Studio One Eleven is designing the proposed tower.

The 615 Ocean development joins a small, but growing number of new high-rise developments taking shape in L.A. County's second largest city. The project site sits just west of Shoreline Gateway, a recently-completed 35-story tower that now ranks as the tallest building in Long Beach. Construction is also in the final stages for a new high-rise from Vancouver-based developer Onni Group at the intersection of Broadway and Long Beach Boulevard.

High-Rise Mixed-Use Planned In Golden Shore Avenue, Long Beach
https://layimby.com/2022/12/high-ris...ong-beach.html



Quote:
A luxury high-rise mixed-use project has been proposed for construction at One & 11 Golden Shore and 400 Ocean Gate in Golden Shore, Long Beach. The project proposal includes the development of a high-rise complex featuring condominiums, a hotel, and commercial space. Existing development totaling approximately 294,003 square feet of office and retail floor area will be removed as part of the project.

The Friedmutter Group and The Michael Anthony Group are the project developers. Ark Architects is responsible for the designs.
Under the residential option, the development will include 1,370 condominiums, an estimated 373,541 square feet of office-retail space, approximately 3,552 parking spaces, open space and onsite amenities. Under the hotel option, the development will include 1,110 condominiums, a 400-room hotel, approximately 373,541 square feet of office-retail space, approximately 3,637 parking spaces, open space and onsite amenities. The primary difference between these two options is reflected in a single building that will either consist of 260 residential units in 29 stories or 400 hotel rooms in 15 stories.
