Property Overview
Acres of Books was a famous bookstore that operated from this building from
1960 until 2008. It was a treasure trove for book lovers, housing thousands of
books covering various genres and subjects. Many people in Long Beach and
beyond remember Acres of Books fondly and were saddened when it closed its
doors in 2008.
The building remained vacant for several years until 2019, Urbana Development,
a local, boutique developer, began to repurpose the space into a new retail/
entertainment hub. After completion in 2023, the building now comprises two
structures, the front building approximately 3,000 square feet and the rear
building approximately 6,000 square feet. The renovation preserved the historical
Streamline Modern facade while adding new glass features to allow for more
natural light, 25-foot high ceilings, and a 45-foot Glass line facing Long Beach
Blvd.
The project also includes an open-air promenade that separates the two buildings,
with exterior patios for people to gather, relax and enjoy. This feature adds an
inviting element to the buildings, making them ideal for creative retail, restaurant,
brewery, or distillery use. The location is nestled between the new Onni East
Village Community, which boasts 432 luxury apartments with various amenities
and ample convenient parking.
The building’s rich history and unique features make it an important part of Long
Beach’s cultural heritage. Its renovation by Urbana Development has given the
building new life while maintaining its original character, making it an excellent
addition to the vibrant and dynamic Downtown Long Beach community.

FAQ
- How do I add a non-forward facing team member such as a broker coordinator or broker aide to a listing in order to ensure they get notifications on the property?
- Please email our support team at [email protected] and they will add the team member.
- How do I access a private listing?
- Please contact the broker directly with the information provided on the listing. Once the broker approves your credentials he will make the information public to you.
- How can I contact the broker
- We strongly encourage to message the broker through our portal by clicking on the “Envelope” icon next to the brokers photo on the property page. We’ve found brokers response time is much quicker via our messaging portal than phone as brokers are always on the go.
- What is the difference between Tier 1 & Tier 2 in the Due Diligence Vault?
- Documents that are placed in a Tier-1 Due Diligence vault require the execution of a Confidentiality Agreement (“CA”) for access. Documents and folders placed in the Tier-2 vault are intended to have an added layer of security and require the execution of a CA in addition to required Broker approval for access.
- How do I unsubscribe from emails?
- At the footer of each email you will find links to Reduce Email Frequency, Adjust Email Settings or Unsubscribe altogether. If you choose to Unsubscribe and are still receiving emails please reach out to us at [email protected].
