New Coastal City Residences Offer Vibrant Lifestyle in Long Beach

The highly anticipated collection of 82 urban residences in Downtown Long Beach will celebrate its official Grand Opening on Saturday, February 20th at 11:30 AM.  Priced from the $300,000s to the high $400,000s with 3.5% special down payment and financing available, Blu is one of the best condo values on the real estate market in Long Beach.  Map

Tours of the designer-furnished model residences and exciting community amenities will be offered along with great music, food and prizes. Henry G. Cisneros, former Secretary of U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development and Executive Chairman of CityView, will speak at 12:00 noon on how the new addition of the community is helping to meet Long Beach's critical workforce housing need while embodying smart growth principles.  Long Beach City Councilman Robert Garcia (CD1) and former Mayor Beverly O'Neill will also be sharing thoughts on Blu as the latest urban addition to the city's residential landscape.

The community's hub is comprised of diverse but connected social spaces that complement all lifestyles.  From a fitness center to a sports club with lounge to a lobby Internet café and outdoor fireplace, residents will never want to leave home, but when they do, they are just steps or blocks from the Metro Blue Line, beach, freeways, Long Beach Airport and an eclectic mix of shopping, dining and entertainment venues.  Blu's desirable Downtown Long Beach location makes the Metro, walking or beach cruisers great alternatives to driving, but when residents do need their cars, they feel confident knowing they have assigned and gated parking in the building's convenient and secure garage.

 

Interior Appointments Reflect Urban Style

 

Offering one and two-bedroom residences, including town-homes, penthouses and live/work lofts ranging from 1,047 to 1,638 sq ft, Blu offers a vibrant coastal city lifestyle in a five-story setting with an array of home designs to suit individual tastes. 

The clean lines of Blu's urban architecture are echoed by the stylish interior appointments.  Nine-foot ceilings lend to an open feeling while designer-selected decorative tile and plush carpeting enhance each home.  Gourmet kitchens are the modern heart of the residences.  Sleek Eurostyle maple cabinetry with brushed chrome handles ground the look, while designer-selected granite countertops and backsplashes add personality.  A full KitchenAid stainless steel appliance package with microwave, range/oven and dishwasher are the gourmet connoisseur's choice and undermount stainless steel sink and polished chrome Kohler faucet with pull-out spray complete the look, with pantries adding extra storage in most plans.

The luxurious master suites offer dual sinks with Kohler faucets in polished chrome, granite countertops and backsplashes as well as oversized tile showers with clear glass enclosures.  The home's maple cabinetry continues into the bath and spacious walk-in closets will please any fashionista. Solid-core single-panel interior doors and 5-inch baseboards carry out the modern, but sophisticated look of quality while pre-wiring for ceiling fixtures, an alarm system and flat panel TVs are great added value conveniences. All residences include a spacious in unit laundry area and most plans offer outdoor patios or balcony living spaces.

Blu is highlighted by many green features that will allow residents and the HOA to save energy and money including an energy-efficient gas central boiler system, a recirculation pump for hot water, energy-saving Milgard dual paned vinyl windows with low e glazing, fully insulated exterior walls and ceilings, weather stripping on all exterior doors and energy-efficient recessed lighting in kitchens, living and dining rooms.

Social Spaces are True Community Places

Blu's complementary social spaces are designed to foster a real sense of community. Residents are sure to be the envy of all their friends as there is no shortage of "wow" when they discover the eclectically decorated lobby with uniquely patterned tall-back chairs for lounging or the thoughtfully designed Internet café. For casual gatherings to more put together parties, the sports club and lounge will be a favorite spot with a pool table, plasma TVs, game tables and community kitchen.

If grilling, pet play dates or simply enjoying a glass of wine is on the agenda, the interior courtyard offers the perfect social gathering place with terrace grilling areas, an open-air fireplace, putting green and lounge chairs for entertaining or relaxing.  A private fitness center with cardio and circuit training as well as free weights rounds out the amenities and saves on gym fees and driving.
