Lennar Needs to change Plans for SeaportMarina Hotel Location

Lennar has now pulled it's plans for replacement of the SeaPort Marina hotel off the table. The proposed mixed use project that was to bring 425 lofts and townhomes will have to be substantially re-wored according to the article featured in the Grunion Gazette.

Although many always cry out that it is the city of Long Beach slowing development, in this case there are many parties involved. IN this case Gary DeLong, 3rd District Councilman, and the California Coastal Commission both have raised issues of concern on the proposed project.

Many Long Beach residents will be happy to know that a major concern of the plan is to truly understand impact on the environment as well as the traffic congestation on 2nd and PCH. With this delay it looks like we will still be some years away before we see a new structure replacing the Seaport Marina.
