The Galaxy: Mid-Century Modern Highrise By the Beach
The Galaxy Towers (2999 E. Ocean Blvd, Long Beach) is a 20 story condominium building built in 1967 by the architects Hugh and Donald Gibbs. Typical of late mid-century modern architecture, the Galaxy is steel, concrete, and glass. I really like the painted blue steel panels and blue tinted glass that clad the building. Despite that this is the only 20 story building in a neighborhood of two story homes, I think the blue tones help the Galaxy blend into our beautiful SoCal skies. The Galaxy Towers condos are 2 and 3 bedrooms units with 2 baths floor plans of 1,510 square feet. Because of the cross shape design of this building, the units do not share a common wall and have views from three sides. Add to this the large balconies, and you have one of the coolest seaside condos in California. For pretty good prices, too. The only unit for sale is this 3 bedroom unit on the eighth floor listed for $560,000. If you are interested in seeing this unit or have more questions about the Galaxy, please call my cell 310-351-9798, or e-mail: evan.gould@homes4hipsters.com.
