Huntington Beach will get 20 beach-close condominiums on the city’s last vacant lot on Main Street.
Developer Pete Zehnder of Collective Housing Supply Co., who’s been part of some innovative in-fill projects in Costa Mesa, won approval for the project at 414 Main St. with a 3-3 vote by city council to override the planning commission’s previous approval. Parking issues had challenged the project.
The Main Street project, designed by JZMK Partners, will hold 20 self-described “luxury” residences ranging in size from 1,150 to 1,800 square feet, a rooftop deck, 5,000 square feet of street-level retail space and subterranean parking.
Homebuying in Huntington Beach rose 4 percent in 2018’s first three months vs. 2017’s first quarter. Real estate tracker CoreLogic found home sales in this period totaled 452 vs. 436 a year earlier.
Prices increased in three of the city’s four ZIP codes:
- ZIP 92646, $648,000 median, down 1.9 percent in a year;
- ZIP 92647, $727,500 median, up 7.1 percent in a year;
- ZIP 92648: $870,000 median, up 1.2 percent in a year;
