HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIF. — Pacific City, a 191,000-square-foot retail center project in Huntington Beach, has received $93 million in construction financing. The shopping center will be located along Pacific Coast Highway, just three blocks south of Main Street. It will be bound by Pacific View Avenue, as well as by 1st and Huntington streets.
The new development is situated on a site that overlooks the Huntington Beach Pier and Pacific Ocean. Its two-story open design will grant most of the tenants ocean views.
The tenant roster will include a mix of national retailers that represent “iconic California lifestyle brands,” in addition to several well-known restaurants and an Equinox fitness center. The adjacent Lot 579 marketplace will feature local and regional food artisans in a farmer’s market-style setting.
Pacific City is scheduled to open next summer. It is being developed by DJM Capital Partners.
The non-recourse financing, which consisted of a $56.5-million senior loan and a $37-million mezzanine loan, was arranged by George Smith Partners. Only a minimal amount of pre-leasing was required for the funding.
