Pacific City, Huntington Beach
An exciting new chapter in the pages of the legendary “Surf
City” Huntington Beach is beginning to open as I write to you. For those who don’t know the history behind
the gorgeous but undeveloped piece of real estate in Huntington Beach
designated to be Pacific City, let me give you a quick geography lesson. The stretch of Pacific Coast Highway from
Huntington Street to the south and 1st street to the north, with
Atlanta Avenue forming the ‘inland’ border, has been designated for some kind
of development time and again for decades but until recently still remained
essentially empty. Until the recent
promise of the conceptual “Pacific City”, that is.
Stenn Parton is the Director of Acquisitions and Development
at DJC (DJM Properties), and he recently presented the construction plans for
approximately 190,000 square feet of commercial and restaurant space along an
ocean view promenade spanning Pacific Coast Highway toward Huntington
Street. The retail space will be
comparable in size and concept to the Grove in Los Angeles, and will boast
similar renovation effect as the other well-known Huntington Beach development
from DJM Properties, the Bella Terra Shopping Center.
DJM’s objective is to combine the distinctive Huntington
Beach lifestyle and personality with specialized product boutiques, gourmet
foods and upscale restaurants. With move
in dates for restaurants and retailers expected in early 2015, anticipate
seeing some vibrant construction activity in this part of the 34 acres fronting
Pacific Coast Highway between 1st Street and Huntington; the long
awaited new Huntington Beach community of Pacific City. Adding to the striking new Pacific City
development are additional plans scheduled for even sooner completion.
Look forward to a 250-room, 4-star hotel along Pacific Coast
Highway and 1st street, to be built by a boutique hotel
operator. DJM has received all the
required approvals from the many relevant parties such as Huntington Beach City
Hall and the EPA; the existing footprint, pad, concrete and steel can be used so
DJM sees no delay in construction which they expect to start in the next 2-3
months. Another piece of Pacific City is
soon to appear!
Crescent Heights, a luxury condominium developer with
offices in NY, Florida and LA is poised and ready to build on the 22 acres at
the rear of the parcel designated for Pacific City. They will erect a 4-story apartment complex
with 516 apartments featuring underground parking and world class amenities for
which they are known. The building will
be built to condominium specifications and will eventually be converted and
sold as condos. The apartment complex is
scheduled for completion between July and December of 2013. The exciting transformation of Huntington
Beach shoreline which Pacific City represents is well underway and unfurls an
intoxicating welcome mat for those who want to celebrate the best in beachfront
living by making Huntington Beach their home.
