Five years after acquiring the Marina Shores shopping center at 6500 Pacific Coast Highway for $68 million, Onni Group has commenced demolition of the approximately six-acre site. In its place, the Vancouver-based development firm has received approvals for the construction of a five-story complex containing 600 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments above 4,000 square feet of commercial space and parking for more than 1,100 vehicles.

SCB is designing the project, dubbed Onni Marina Shores, which would include a central driveway cutting between Marina Drive and Pacific Coast Highway. Salt Landscape Architects is the landscape architect for the project, which has been described as being located on a transitional site between the Alamitos Bay Marina and wetlands to the north, as well as at the southeastern gateway of the City of Long Beach.

The project is the largest of three apartment complexes planned along this stretch of Pacific Coast Highway, coming on the heels of a 281-unit development from Holland Partner Group now under construction to the east. Carmel Partners also has plans for a housing complex at 6615 Pacific Coast Highway.
