2ND & PCH

2nd & PCH is a 100,000 square foot, Class A+ lifestyle center in Long Beach, California, operated by CenterCal Properties. Opened in October 2019 on the site of the former Seaport Marina Hotel, the property is an open-air format built around walkable retail, dining, and service tenants positioned for a coastal consumer base.

The center sits at the intersection of Second Street and Pacific Coast Highway, placing it at the edge of Alamitos Bay in one of Long Beach’s most established waterfront neighborhoods. The surrounding trade area pulls from Belmont Shore, Naples Island, and Seal Beach to the south, while reaching inland toward Los Alamitos and Signal Hill. This corridor connects Long Beach’s higher-income residential pockets to a property with direct waterfront adjacency, drawing shoppers who live close, visit frequently, and spend on premium goods. The broader Los Angeles metro adds volume to that base, particularly on weekends when coastal destinations in Southern California attract traffic well beyond their immediate neighborhoods.

The tenant mix is anchored by Nike, lululemon, and Shake Shack, establishing activewear and fast-casual dining as two of the center’s defining pillars. Contemporary apparel and athletic retailers extend that positioning across the rest of the center, supported by beauty tenants, accessory retailers, and additional dining concepts. The overall mix skews toward premium casual rather than traditional department store anchoring, which suits both the open-air format and the spending habits of a coastal Southern California shopper who prioritizes active wear, wellness, and food-and-beverage alongside apparel. The absence of a department store anchor keeps the merchandising mix tight and brand-forward, making co-tenancy here a statement about positioning rather than just coverage.

For brands evaluating entry into the Long Beach market, 2nd & PCH offers a foothold in a high-traffic coastal node that performs on both local repeat visits and destination traffic from across the South Bay and greater Los Angeles area. The format rewards brands with strong identity in activewear, contemporary fashion, wellness, or dining, and the 100,000 square foot scale means competition for space is real. Brands that have already built awareness in the Los Angeles metro and are looking to extend reach into Long Beach’s waterfront consumer base will find this property among the most direct routes to that shopper.
