Newmark arranged the sale of Topaz Tower Apartments, a 12-story, 292,540 square foot trophy office tower fully entitled for adaptive reuse to a Class A, high-rise apartment project.

The new project will include 228 studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments with views of the Pacific Ocean, balconies in 70% of the units and a rooftop amenity deck with a resort-style pool. Topaz Tower Apartments is located just one block from the ocean and two blocks from the West Harbor mega-project, a 42-acre waterfront development that will reimagine the retail, entertainment and dining scene in the San Pedro and Long Beach areas. Centrally located between Los Angeles and Orange County, the property is highly accessible via the Metro Blue Line and the 710, 405 and 110 freeways.
