future. - Mayor Robert Garcia
Who’s Shaping Long Beach’s Skyline (prerecorded)
Corporate headquarters, big businesses and major developments attract more of the same,
creating a real estate ecosystem that fuels itself and capitalizes on Long Beach being a
unique investment opportunity on an urban waterfront. Recently completed projects, as
well as an influx of corporate headquarters, are attracting exciting startups, allowing
existing businesses to expand, and putting Long Beach on the map for more future
development from big investors. We take a look at the visionary developers who took a big
bet on Long Beach — and have seen it pay off. - Ryan Altoon, Anderson Pacific

Breaking Ground: What’s on the Horizon for Long Beach (prerecorded)
Long Beach’s landscape is rapidly changing. There are more developments breaking ground
now than we’ve seen in decades, and those developments are translating to more jobs and a
higher quality of life for residents who are shaping the future of Long Beach. - Local Economic Picture: Seiji Steimetz, Ph.D. (live)
Chair of the Cal State University, Long Beach Department of Economics, Seiji Steimetz, will
discuss Long Beach’s economic picture, including employment data and how the real estate
