Plans were recently unveiled for a new high-rise waterfront residential community, called Vue, to be constructed in the city of San Pedro. The 318-unit project, a JV development of Beverly Hills-based Galaxy Commercial Holding LLC and The Carlyle Group, will be the largest and first new high-rise residential community on the waterfront in Old Town San Pedro, and will be offered at the lowest price point for waterfront living in Southern California. The development is expected to cost around $175 mil.
Vue is located midway between L.A. and Orange Counties, and a short drive across the Vincent Thomas Bridge to the lively entertainment, nightlife, and restaurant destinations in Long Beach. Soaring 16 stories above the waterfront at 5th and Palos Verdes streets, Vue will serve as the anchor of what is being promoted as Southern California’s next urban renaissance -- Old Town San Pedro.
According to Vue’s Marketing Manager, Rhonda Slavik, “Vue offers a new home environment where residents can live, dine, shop, play, recreate and enjoy a burgeoning cultural community waiting to be discovered. Framed by temperate ocean breezes, Vue provides homebuyers a remarkable value for refined urban living space near the water. The views from Vue are spectacular, offering an interactive experience of sea life and the harbor.”
Vue, named for its unmatched views of the waterfront and Palos Verdes Peninsula, is slated to break ground in spring 2006, with residences expected to be available for occupancy in early 2008, according to Slavik. The one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, starting from the mid-$300,000’s, range in size from 700 sf to more than 1.7k sf.
In addition to the stunning ocean, harbor, Palos Verdes Peninsula and city views, residents at Vue will be able to enjoy its lushly landscaped courtyard designed around a pool that features private cabanas. Other resident amenities planned at Vue include a roof-top sky deck on the 16th floor, a lounge, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a Yoga and Pilates studio.
Vue will offer 27 distinctive floor plan variations within 13 main plans, giving homeowners ultimate flexibility in creating distinctive living spaces. The residential units are designed to include private terraces and balconies, and multiple finish packages encompass elegantly styled woods, porcelain tile flooring, wood cabinetry, granite counter tops, imported faucets and high-end stainless steel appliances. The property will include a controlled access system and a five-story parking structure with parking for 725 vehicles.
Vue was designed by J. Kobi Moses, AIA, Principal of GMP Architects of Santa Monica. The company also designed three luxury towers in Marina Del Rey: the Cove, the Azzurra and the Regatta.
Style Interior Design of Irvine was selected as the interior design firm for Vue. Included among Style’s past California design projects are: Trio in Pasadena; City Place Sales Center in Santa Ana; Marina Pointe and Water Terrace in Marina Del Rey; Crescent Park at Playa Vista in Los Angeles; and Watermarke Condominiums in Irvine.
