BIXBY KNOLLS METRO CENTER

LOCATION: LONG BEACH, CA
OWNER: 3777+ PARTNERS, LP
ARCHITECT: SCHWEITZER BIM

The Bixby Knolls Metro Center has given new life to the Long Beach Boulevard Corridor. Prior to the restoration of the building, neighbors deemed the building, vacant for 13 years, to be an “eyesore” to the community. Howard CDM transformed the five-story 45,000 SF building by utilizing the existing shell, emphasizing the frame, and using colors to highlight the building’s shapes and angles. Howard CDM replaced the building’s electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Howard CDM was able to revitalize the building’s existing terrazzo tiled lobby and stairway. After completion of the project in 2006, Long Beach Heritage Society recognized Howard CDM with the Significant Architectural Contribution Award for the Bixby Knolls Metro Center.
