  • Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) August 28, 2010 - Designed by KTGY Group, Inc., Architecture and Planning, Downtown Long Beach recently celebrated the grand opening of its newest luxury apartment community, gallery421. Developed by Lyon Communities, one of the top apartment companies in the nation, gallery421 is a stylish 291-home community offering five-star amenities and situated within walking distance to dining, entertainment, shopping, parks, schools, and transportation. This is Lyon Communities' third luxury community in Downtown Long Beach.

    "Lyon has made yet another important statement about Downtown Long Beach's appeal as a place to live, work and play," said Mayor Bob Foster. "It is opening at an important time and will help generate new business for Downtown merchants. We are thrilled to see a best-in-class community open in Long Beach and welcome the lucky residents who will live there."

    The upscale five-story mid rise replaced under-used, aging commercial buildings and surface parking lot and transformed the one square city block to the ultimate in 24/7 live, work, play environment. Recognized for its modern architecture, sleek and sophisticated urban style, resort-style living, gallery421 residents can enjoy the premier location and access to all manner of downtown amenities including world-class shopping, dining, entertainment, cultural events and activities, beaches, employment and services, mass transit options (travel by bike, bus, train, shuttles, planes and boats), stunning views and unparalleled residential services.

    Situated half way between Los Angeles and Orange counties, and located on West Broadway, just north of Ocean Boulevard in the heart of Downtown Long Beach, gallery421 offers a business and conference center with Wi-Fi, HDTV and teleconferencing, billiards room, card room and even a special dog grooming room. Residents will also enjoy an on-site art gallery, a coffee bar, yoga and Pilates studio, a private movie theatre, a game room with WiiTM, a state-of-the-art fitness center and an exterior TV wall. There is also 16,000 square feet of on-site street-level retail. The first residents moved in late June.

    The community boasts plentiful open spaces, a resort-style pool and spa, barbecue grills, private balconies, concierge services, outdoor seating with a TV and bar area plus fireplace areas with seating and private cabanas.

Furnished suites are available.

    "These spacious and exceedingly comfortable apartment homes are open and airy with high ceilings, drawing in a lot of natural light, which reduces residents' utility costs," said David Obitz, principal of KTGY and gallery421's lead designer. "The Interiors are stylish and sophisticated, exuding a metropolitan flair that appeals to the young and young-at-heart alike.

    "With the blending of art and amenity-rich, urban mixed-use living, there is nothing like this Downtown Long Beach or in the greater area," Obitz said.

    Rents start at $1,750 for a one bedroom apartment. Also offered are one bedroom plus den, two bedrooms and two-story townhomes.
