Ocean Center, a 14-story residential property in downtown Long Beach, is being offered for sale. Built in 1929, the 80-unit tower at 110 West Ocean Blvd totals 141.8k sf and is currently 60% occupied. The coastal property, which recently completed a meticulous renovation, includes over 10k sf of ground floor retail space.
Onsite amenities include a fitness center, community clubroom with kitchen, three rooftop decks with panoramic water views, barbeque grills, bike storage, and lockers, among other features. The apartment units include modern cabinetry, private decks and balconies in select units, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and other upgrades.
Strategically located at the corner of Ocean Blvd and Pine Ave—downtown Long Beach’s most prominent intersection—Ocean Center delivers architectural pedigree, an irreplaceable location value, and significant upside in a high-growth coastal market.
Originally designed by legendary architect Raymond M. Kennedy of Meyer & Holler—the firm behind Hollywood’s famed Grauman’s Chinese and Egyptian Theaters—Ocean Center is a hallmark of Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture. The recent adaptive reuse honors this rich history by preserving defining features such as original terrazzo floors, vintage elevators, and ornate façade detailing, while introducing 80 boutique residential units and ground floor retail.
Avison Young’s Damian McKinney and Peter Sherman have been awarded the listing by the seller, Pacific6 Enterprises, who acquired the asset in 2018.
"Ocean Center is a unique opportunity to own a landmark property that fuses timeless architecture with modern luxury," said Sherman. “It is a rare for-rent residential high-rise with expansive ocean views. The vast majority of luxury rental communities, including new construction, in downtown Long Beach are inland and six- to eight-story builds. The property is primed for rent growth and strong performance.”
Downtown Long Beach’s waterfront is the city’s most affluent neighborhood, with average household incomes of $145k. Over $1 bil in public investment is transforming the area, including the $900 mil Shoemaker Bridge Replacement, $520 mil Civic Center, $350 mil in Metro upgrades, and $932 mil in Olympic-related infrastructure. A new waterfront amphitheater by Legends Hospitality is set to open in 2026, further elevating the district’s cultural draw. The area’s professional renter base is fueled by a year-round calendar of high-profile events and an amenity-rich coastal lifestyle.
