The building amenities include a rooftop pool and spa on the 35^th floor and panoramic community room lounge on the 34^th floor, along with amenities, community living spaces and retail and entertainment spaces. Additionally, the Shoreline Gateway will be the first LEED Gold-certified building in Long Beach. All of these amenities fit the urbanized Downtown area. “Downtown Long Beach is also a true walkable urban environment, with an extensive bike network/bike share, as one of the 'Most Bike Friendly Cities in America,' recharging stations, new pilot e-scooter program, extensive free bus network, and connections to the Metro Blue Line, linking the employment centers of Downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach,” adds Altoon.

The developers expect the development will set a standard in the market. While it will deliver in early 2021, they already expect strong demand. “As proven with the lease up of The Current, we anticipate a commensurate healthy absorption rate, while offering a diverse range of unit types and sizes to cater to myriad communities of renters—from studio apartments, to traditional 1- and 2BR units, to 2-story Penthouse units,” says Silver. “As the tallest luxury high-rise in a waterfront downtown, demand for this community will pull local and regional renters, as well as national transplants seeking a walkable urban environment with proximity to major employment and recreation centers.”
