Wood Framing Completed for Affordable Housing Complex in Long Beach
Over a half-year since our last update in Midtown Long Beach, wood framing is now complete for Meta Housing Corp.’s new affordable housing complex just south of the A Line’s Willow Station.
Project Details
Located at 2400 Long Beach Boulevard, the project replaced a school bus depot storage lot with a new five-story building which will contain 194 apartments above 5,622 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.

Per a December 2021 staff report to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, the apartments will include a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, with rents set for households earning between 30 and 70 percent of the area median income level.
Design and Amenities
The Architects Collective is designing the contemporary low-rise structure, which would be centered on an open courtyard amenity space.
