Long Beach Civic Center

The project includes a 270,000-square-foot City Hall office building, 93,500-square-foot Main Library, 232,000-square-foot Port Headquarters office building, the redevelopment of historic Lincoln Park, and a new below-grade parking garage. The new Civic Center plan optimizes operations and maintenance, maximizes street parking, introduces plazas and promenades, and expands bike infrastructure to create a superior hierarchy and quality of place. The new Civic Center is enlivened by new commercial development on parcels of land monetized on behalf of the City to support financing of the project. Through such creative financing, the City pays no more to occupy its new facilities than it did for the old facilities.
