The new development was entitled for construction by local real estate firm Ensemble, which originally secured approvals for a larger complex which would have included a 23-story high-rise and up to 345 apartments, but pivoted to the current project in 2021.

The project is the third in recent years for Holland Partner Group in Long Beach, following the completion of the Volta on Pine development a few blocks north. The Vancouver, Washington-based firm next plans to build 281 apartments on the site of the Congressional Place office complex at 6700 E. Pacific Coast Highway.
