Downtown Long Beach is in the midst of an urban renaissance. Originally adopted in 2012, the Downtown Plan was established by Long Beach Development Services to create a vibrant urban core. Since January 2014, hundreds of businesses have opened in the area and there are currently over 1,000 apartment units under construction. Jerry Fink, Managing Partner, said "Long Beach will serve as a premier hub for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, hosting 11 sports—the most outside Los Angeles—from July 14–30, 2028. Centered around downtown and the waterfront, events include handball, water polo, sailing, and beach volleyball."

Long Beach is undergoing a major revitalization, with over $1.7 billion in projects expected to transform the city by 2030, driven by the 2028 Olympics, the Elevate 28 infrastructure program, and the Downtown Plan update. Key initiatives include transforming the downtown waterfront, creating a 400-acre wind turbine facility at the Port, and creating dense, mixed-use developments like the Mosaic, adding thousands of residential units and new public spaces. Office tenants in the area are fairly diverse, with a high concentration of trade, logistics, and medical firms concentrated in the downtown core. The City of Long Beach is the largest tenant in the area. The neighborhood benefits from having the lowest office rents in the metro while still having access to the best amenities in the greater Los Angeles area. Long Beach is also home to an increasing amount of retail and restaurant options.
