This 40-story tower, when complete, would unseat the Shoreline Gateway tower as the tallest building in Long Beach. The project would be made up of six buildings of various heights and uses, including the tower. The West Gateway would hold 694 residential units in all. The project was proposed by Maple Multi-Family Land, a subsidiary of Trammell Crow Residential. West Gateway received approval from Long Beach’s planning commission in July.

Once built, this 35-story residential tower will be the tallest in Long Beach (for a while, at least).

The 315-apartment Shoreline Gateway tower will rise right next to a 17-story complex called The Current. Planned by the same developers, the two buildings will be connected by a 10,000-square-foot plaza.

The tower is under construction now. As of last year, the project was expected to be complete in late 2021.

Long Beach lost its primary public transit connection to Downtown LA for most of 2019 due to construction on the aging Blue Line. The payoff for that major inconvenience will be a shorter trip once work is finished—as much as 10 minutes faster. The line will reopen as the A Line on October 28.

This adaptive reuse project would turn a historic building dating to 1929 into 80 apartments. The grand old Ocean Center is the work of Grauman’s Chinese Theater’s designer Raymond M. Kennedy of the firm Meyer & Holler, and it was once part of The Pike, an old-timey boardwalk-style entertainment zone. The developer, Pacific6, is also behind the reboot of the Breakers building.

The beautiful but aging Queen Mary, moored in Long Beach since 1967, is due for an extensive overhaul overseen by the ship’s new operator, Urban Commons.

The developer also plans to construct an enormous $250 million entertainment complex next to the ship—complete with ice climbing, rooftop surfing pavilions, and a 200-room hotel.

This 30-story hotel tower would rise in the heart of Downtown Long Beach, bringing 429 guest rooms and new restaurant space to the area.

Developer American Life reached an agreement with the city late last year to collect 80 percent of hotel tax revenue from the project over its first nine years in business. The project is part of Long Beach’s “8 by 28” Olympics initiative.

Approved by the city’s planning commission last year, this seven-story development will include 142 units of housing and just under 3,500 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space.

A huge overhaul is on the way for Long Beach’s Civic Center, where many of the brutalist buildings that stand on the site today will be razed to make way for a flashy cluster of new structures that will give the city a new library and city hall, fresh retail establishments, a 36-story residential and hotel tower, and more offices for city employees.

This privately developed project within the center center would see nearly 600 residential units of moderate-income and workforce housing plus 40,000 square feet of retail, including a grocery store.

This affordable housing complex broke ground last year and is expected to open in 2019. Once complete, the two-building development will include 160 units of supportive housing for veterans and seniors.

Now under construction, this seven-story project will feature 163 apartments (17 of them affordable), along with community amenities like a fitness center and bike workshop.

The formerly city-owned property is part of the larger makeover of the Civic Center area of downtown Long Beach.

Developer Sares Regis Group is building this seven-story residential development with 136 condos and retail space, designed by local architecture firm Studio One Eleven. The project is expected to be complete this fall.

Located right next to the large Camden Harbor View apartment complex, this adaptive reuse project will transform an existing office building into a residential development with 106 residential units and 4,597 square feet of retail space. Work was previously scheduled to be complete in early 2020.

This seven-story development will include 82 units and 4,091 square feet of parking. It’s set to rise right next to the historic Broadlind Hotel (and its basement bar, the Blind Donkey, where key scenes in La La Land were filmed).

Developer Rockefeller Partners has proposed an eight-story mixed-use development with 120 residential units and 6,000 square feet of retail space for this spot near the Blue Line’s Anaheim Station.

This proposed eight-story, mixed-use development would bring 218 residential units and 10,000 square feet of retail space to the neighborhood. The developer, Raintree-Evergreen LLC, has this and another similar project in the works in the downtown area.

This proposed mixed-user, also from Raintree-Evergreen, would hold 172 residential units and 10,000 square feet of retail space to a property formerly owned by the successor agency to the city’s defunct community redevelopment agency.

This adaptive reuse project would transform the former Security Pacific National Bank into a 13-story hotel with 189 guest rooms. The developer, Pacific Property Partners, is also developing an 18-story hotel called The Cambria in Downtown LA, near LA Live.

Construction is underway now on this four-story project with 20 apartments and over 5,000 square feet of ground floor retail from Shooshani Developers.

This five story hotel near the Blue Line’s terminus will hold 34 rooms when complete. The project broke ground in December.

This five-story apartment project has been approved, but no timeline has been announced.

This three-story structure would add more space to the existing Lydia House, a semi-permanent housing complex for women and children experiencing homelessness. It’s operated by the Long Beach Rescue Mission.

This 10-story building would provide 78 assisted living units for seniors.

This mixed use project will include housing for 1,100 students at California State University Long Beach, along with a few classrooms, lab space, and a new venue to house the school’s art museum. The Blue Line-adjacent development is set to rise amid the former City Place shopping center, now known as The Streets. An opening date remains unclear, the Press-Telegram reported in March.

This proposed mixed-use development would rise eight stories high, with 750 residential units and 11,000 square feet of retail space. The developer is Irvine-based Greenlaw Partners.
