Westside Gateway: Alexan West End, Long Beach

Reimagining a Downtown Long Beach Superblock: How Strategic Development, Urban Design & Mixed-Use Planning Are Transforming a Major Westside Site.

A few blocks from the conference venue, a former surface parking lot in downtown Long Beach is becoming 600 new apartments. At this year’s Southern California Multifamily Annual Conference, the city, developer and architect behind Alexan West End will walk through how the Westside Gateway project came together, from entitlements and urban design to financing and delivery.
