Crews have officially broken ground on Onni Marina Shores, a 600-unit, double-structure, mixed-use development at 6500 and 6670 E. Pacific Coast Hwy. The demolition of the former Whole Foods and Petco buildings is the most prominent aspect of the demo. It permanently alters a space that, for decades, greeted drivers going up and down PCH.
It is one of three massive residential projects will alter the entire landscape of Pacific Coast Highway as one heads north, coming in from Orange County and crossing into Long Beach.
What is the Marina Shores project by Onni?
This larger Marina Shores project—led by Onni, the company behind the towering Onni East Village project that spans Long Beach Boulevard between Broadway and 3rd Street—was previously home to anchor tenant Whole Foods before it moved over to the neighboring 2nd+PCH retail complex. With a Petco and an empty grocer—in combination with the Southeast Area Specific Plan, which encourages residential development in the area—a sale was bound to happen: In late 2021, when real estate firm Newmark announced that Onni had purchased the 6.2 acre complex for $67.9M.
Presenting their plans the following year, with former Mayor Robert Garcia announcing it at his last Building Long Beach event, two five-story buildings with 670 units were announced. That was reduced to 600 last year.
Are there 600 parking spaces somewhere in this project?
are there 600 electric car charging outlets?
This project is an everlasting monument to the stupidity of liberal and progressive political ideology which intersects architectural development for the sole purpose of putting California residence in the most confined Soviet eastern block style apartments that has ever been designed by a left-wing liberal progressive communist, Sacramento legislature. You must also realize you’re gonna save 10% of these units for low income are very low income, which is gonna bring the most vile evil low income people that you can imagine which will create crime and God only knows what other kinds of problems. If you’re concerned about parking, you should look for the details because Senate bill 79 is designed to build apartment complexes without parking because your radical environmentalist which is any environmentalist in the state of California wants to get you out of your car permanently. Look at the west side of Long Beach. The large amounts of high density apartment complexes have brought nothing but more crime and drugs, and the homeless problems continues to abound and now they’re moving low income apartments near Wilson high school at Anaheim and Zeino because the city believes that Long Beach residence who work hard to live in a middle class in upper class area, don’t have a right to that and that’s part of Rex Richardson socialism.
You must be a ray of sunshine at parties.
Your absolutely right!!! You don’t care about what happens to people in Long Beach. You are just whores for money. Do you have any idea what these conglomerates will do to traffic & crime?
You have destroyed the uniqueness of Long Beach/Seal beach – for what? GREED
