The project, which sits along the east side of Long Beach Boulevard at its intersection with 14th Street, consists of a new six-story building featuring 163 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in addition to a community room, an outdoor courtyard, and a children’s play area.<\/p>\n

The Architects Collective<\/a> is designing the colorful podium-type building, which is named Luma Point.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time it began construction, the more than $87-million development was to be reserved for renters earning between 30 and 70 percent of the area median income level<\/a>.<\/p>\n
