🏙 Long Beach Office Tower Conversion Update: 391 Apartments Proposed at 111 W. Ocean Blvd

A 24-story office tower in Downtown Long Beach — 111 W. Ocean Blvd (formerly Landmark Square / Wells Fargo Building) — is proposed to be converted into housing as part of a broader office-to-residential trend in urban cores.

✨ Highlights:

• 24-story existing office tower

• Approximately ~460,000 sq ft building

• Proposal to convert into ~391 residential apartment units (adaptive reuse)

• Developer: Shomof Group (Izek Shomof)

• Property reportedly acquired in 2025 for around $50M

• Application submitted to the City of Long Beach — currently under city review

• Not yet approved, permitted, or under construction

• No official unit mix, affordability breakdown, parking plan, or construction timeline released yet

Bottom Line:

This reflects a growing shift in Downtown Long Beach — repurposing underused office space into residential housing. If approved, it would add nearly 400 units to the downtown core without new ground-up construction. Still early stage, application / entitlement review phase. No construction start date has been announced.
