Holland Partner Group has won preliminary approval to build a 281-unit, mixed-use apartment complex in southeast Long Beach.

The Vancouver, Washington-based developer got a go-ahead from the city’s Planning Commission for the six-story building at 6700 East Pacific Coast Highway, next to the San Gabriel River, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reported. It would replace a two-story office building.

The pastel peach, charcoal and orange complex would be built south of PCH between Marina Way and Studebaker Road, across the river from the Los Cerritos Wetlands and Seal Beach.

The complex of jutting balconies and floor-to-ceiling storefront windows would include 3,100 square feet of shops and restaurants, a fitness center and 27,500 square feet of common space. A semi-underground parking garage would serve 507 cars and 142 bicycles.

The apartments, from studios to three-bedrooms, would include 13 units of affordable housing.

The second and third floors of the building would have outdoor patios, while a rooftop deck would employ solar panels. A large mural would face Pacific Coast Highway.

The energy-efficient complex would include all-electric appliances, low-flow water features and smart thermostats, according to the developer.

The Holland group plans to create a raised bike path with landscaping along PCH and Studebaker Road. The project would also provide new coastal access with outdoor seating areas along Marina Drive and Studebaker Road, as well as improved access to the San Gabriel River Bike Trail.

Some residents voiced concerns about the project’s potential environmental impacts, including the nearby Los Cerritos Wetlands, and local traffic.

Holland Partner Group was behind a 271-unit mixed-use apartment complex known as Volta on Pine at 635 Pine Avenue in Long Beach. It’s now building a 271-unit housing complex dubbed 3rd & Pacific also in Long Beach.
