Acutally the West Ocean towers aren't proposed, they're nearing completion. How many of those other towers have already been approved? Is there a groundbreaking date set for any of those?

[FROM LOS ANGELES]

Edgewater.

[Fern~Fern*]

So many cranes all over the LBC*

[ArchiTennis]

I thought Long Beach was more happening than a Dec. 14th update.

[PotatoGuy]

it is I just dont think any of the LA forumers live there or frequent the city

[LA-dude]

well i live in Downey which is like less than 15 mins away but last time i was downtown was in 2005.....it is cool though all the development happening there though.....pretty cool :]

[CarsonCaliBrotha]

This is really outdated, theres alot more happening in LB then it shows over here. Its really exciting to go through DTLB, as I do often. its so exciting how much stuff is going on there.

[The Baz]

I don't live far from LB but haven't been in town in over a year. Probably looks pretty different.

Just curious, what exactly is outdated? What is going on in LB that isn't here? There isn't a lot (two words) going on that isn't here.

[CarsonCaliBrotha]

Downtown Long Beach amazes me everytime I pass through. Downtown LAs great and all, but LB gives you this feel of homeliness and yet it always looks a bit different everytime you go, which is nearly weekly for me. Love it there.

[PotatoGuy]

DTLB is great, and theres always something to do there, I love it

[LosAngelesSportsFan]

any news on Broadway and Main. that might be my favorite project in LA.

[vicecityguy]

Update to Broadway and Main:

Looks like they removed the "fin" attached to each of the towers and instead added a third tower:





Here is the website from the developer, although they don't have the right description as it references only one 20 story tower and they show two new renderings with three TALL towers.

Firm offers $41 million to buy Queen Mary lease
By Valerie Reitman, Times Staff Writer
April 27, 2007

A Santa Monica shopping center developer has bid $41 million to purchase the lease for the Queen Mary and surrounding grounds in Long Beach, with plans to refurbish the ship and develop the landing as a retail-entertainment complex.

O&S Holdings' is the first bid received for taking over the property operated by Queen's Seaport Development Inc., which filed for bankruptcy in March 2005. Court-appointed bankruptcy trustee Howard Ehrenberg said several other developers have been considering the property and could submit bids before an offer is selected this summer.

But those developers would have to bid at least $2.5 million more than O&S and meet several other criteria to be selected. O&S bid the minimum $41 million, the amount necessary to pay off Queen's Seaport's lenders and other creditors.

Ehrenberg said the 66-year lease, which has 58 years remaining on it, has been conservatively appraised at $56 million.

Rachel Forman, O&S Holdings' vice president of corporate marketing, said preliminary plans for the area include refurbishing and developing a "retail and entertainment, tourist-driven development."

The adjacent property now includes a welcoming terminal for Carnival Cruise Lines and a number of smaller businesses and shops. Ehrenberg said the parking area could be developed to add more entertainment, dining, specialty retail, hotel and meeting space. "It's envisioned as a capstone for the city of Long Beach, to tie the waterfront" to the rest of the city, Ehrenberg said.

O&S has developed 80 other shopping centers and community centers around the U.S.

so on point!, a day after i ask about an update, you have new renders! dont forget to change the first post.

New image of the City Hall East (Grand Prix Place) adaptive re-use proposed design:

[FROM LOS ANGELES]

If they added a third tower that means that the market in LB has gained strenght! And three towers look better, the buildings in the middle of the original design never quite fitted with the whole complex IMO.
