The Whole Foods Market 365 grocery being developed as part of the Long Beach Exchange shopping center in northeast Long Beach is scheduled to open on April 25, company officials said Tuesday.
The grocery store is scheduled to be the third of its kind to open in Southern California, according to Whole Foods’ announcement of the store’s opening date. Other Whole Foods Market 365 stores, a more compact version of the standard Whole Foods Market stores, do business in Santa Monica and Silver Lake.
The Long Beach store is designed to occupy some 28,000 square feet of space with room for a restaurant serving Asian cuisine and a cafe, respectively named Yellow Fever and Groundwork Coffee.
Long Beach Exchange, also known as LBX, is under construction near the crossing of Carson Street and Lakewood Boulevard. The site is part of former Boeing Co. land that master developer Sares-Regis Group of Irvine has remade as Douglas Park, a cluster of industrial buildings, offices and hotels.
Virgin Orbit is headquartered at Douglas Park, and Mercedes-Benz USA keeps its main West Coast offices there.
Developer Burnham Ward Properties of Newport Beach won city government’s approval to develop Long Beach Exchange in October 2016, and construction began in February 2017. Other tenants scheduled to do business there include Nordstrom Rack, following a relocation of its Lakewood Center operations to the new shopping center, T.J. Maxx and Orchard Supply Hardware.
The developers also plan for myriad smaller businesses to sell food and retail goods within a hangar-shaped building with nearly 17,000 square feet of space.

Los Angeles, Orange counties No. 1 in U.S. home-price gains by this index

By one widely-watched home-price benchmark, the strongest appreciation nationwide this century was in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The S&P/Case-Shiller indexes are curious real estate yardsticks, invented by and named for two pioneering professors in housing economics. This benchmark is narrow in scope as it follows housing in just 20 large U.S. markets. Think of it as housing’s equivalent to the Dow Jones industrial index, the venerable Wall Street tracker of 30 publicly traded and well-known companies. When I tossed S&P/Case-Shiller data into my trusty spreadsheet I learned prices in L.A.-O.C. have surged to a nation’s best 171 percent since January 2000. (Ahem, that includes the housing bubble bursting!) And these 21st-century gains e

One way or another, two words are likely to dominate the complicated politics of California’s housing crisis in 2018: rent control. Photo: ThinkStock 8 COMMENTS By  CALMATTERS  | January 4, 2018 at 12:50 pm One way or another, two words are likely to dominate the complicated politics of California’s housing crisis in 2018: rent control. Next week state lawmakers will hear a proposal from Assemblyman Richard Bloom, Democrat from Santa Monica, that would allow cities to dramatically restrict what landlords can charge tenants year-over-year. The bill couldn’t even get a hearing last year amid intense opposition from landlords. But looming over legislators’ heads this time around is a potential ballot initiative supported by tenants’ rights groups that would do much of the same. If the bill stalls, experts say there’s a good chance you’ll see rent control on your November ballot. What should your average Californian know about a rent control debate poised to gobble up so
