Long Beach, California
Long Beach publishes the assessed value of every parcel and the owner of none. Its biggest landholder is the public: the City's tidelands and the Port's 7,600 acres. Private owners show up only in SEC filings or on a deed bought at the LA County Registrar-Recorder's counter.

Can you find out who owns it?
California has no public online land-title register. Long Beach lies in Los Angeles County, whose Assessor publishes a 92-field parcel layer with land and improvement values, floor areas and base years but no owner-name field. Deeds are recorded by the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk. That office states it 'does not provide online access to real estate records or indexes', citing Government Code 6254.21, and sells certified copies at $6 for the first page and $3 per page after. There is no price-paid dataset: under Prop 13 the roll resets to the purchase price on a sale, but it never states a price.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landmark Square 111 W Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802 470,422 sq ft (county roll main area); seller's release gives ~$306/sq ft · 24 floors |
Office | Not established a paid title search would answer it Brookfield Office Properties' own release (8 Aug 2013) says it sold Landmark Square, a 24-storey office building built in 1990, 'for approximately $136 million', having acquired it with the Trizec portfolio in 2006; it does not name the buyer. The county parcel (AIN 7280031022) carries a 2014 land and improvement base year and a 2026 roll of $10,000,000 land + $99,000,000 improvements, which does not match the 2013 price. A later transfer is therefore likely, but no filing we opened names the current owner; a deed copy must be bought. |

| One World Trade Center (Long Beach) One World Trade Center, Long Beach, CA ~573,000 sq ft (2007 seller's release) · 27 floors |
Office | Not established a paid title search would answer it G REIT's own release says it sold the 27-storey, 1989 tower on 22 March 2007 for $148,900,000 to Legacy Partners Realty Fund II, having bought it in December 2003 for $113,648,000; tenants then included US Customs, the FBI and the Department of Defense. That is a 2007 statement, not a current one. The county parcel layer has no 'World Trade Center' situs and we did not match the tower to an AIN, so no later reassessment could be read. Current owner not established. |

| Shoreline Square 301 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802 413,801 sq ft (CMBS term sheet); 393,161 sq ft (county roll main area) · 20 floors |

The ground lessor is Terra Funding – Shoreline Square, LP, base ground rent $2,985,131 a year. Appraised at $87.5M (Dec 2021), 85.0% occupied; largest tenant GSA/US Customs, 29.8% of area. The county roll (AIN 7281026030) shows a 2022 base year at $13.5M land + $85.0M improvements, which is not the price. Current loan status was not checked. |

| Long Beach Civic Center (City Hall and Port of Long Beach headquarters) 411–415 W Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802 271,935 sq ft on the 415 W Ocean parcel (county roll) |
Civic | Not established the register is open, but this building was not matched BD+C (April 2016) reports that the City and the Port of Long Beach reached financial close on a $520M civic center (new city hall, port HQ, main library, park) delivered as a design-build-finance-operate-maintain P3. Plenary Group was lead developer and sole equity provider ($21M); Allianz lent $237M and SMBC $213M; the City contributed $11.8M cash and land valued at nearly $30M. The county classes AIN 7280025900 (415 W Ocean, built 2018) and AIN 7280025904 (built 2022) as 'Government Parcel', with no roll value. No document we opened says how title is split between the City, the Harbor Department and the P3 company. |

| Queen Mary | Hotel | City of Long Beach City press release #060421: on 4 June 2021 the City 'will regain full control of the Queen Mary' after its lessee, Urban Commons Queensway LLC, surrendered its leases and moved to reject them in bankruptcy. The City also regained 'over 40 acres of parks, cruise terminals and parking lots' around the ship. It approved $500,000 of Tidelands Critical Infrastructure funds for the first repairs. The City's waterfront page (2026) says the City contracts with Evolution Hospitality to run the hotel. No price: the City did not buy it. |

| Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center 300 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90802 over 400,000 sq ft of meeting, event and exhibit space (City) |
Civic | City of Long Beach The City's waterfront page calls the LBCEC 'a premiere City asset, offering over 400,000 square feet of versatile meeting, event, and exhibit space', with 34 meeting rooms. Second source: the county parcel at 300 E Ocean Blvd (AIN 7278010912) is classed 'Government Parcel', built 1962, 303,704 sq ft. Its legal description begins 'Reclaimed lands as shown on Long Beach City Engineers section maps', which is the City's tidelands. |

Hotel | Hyatt Hotels Corporation Owned, subject to a third-party ground lease on the land Hyatt's FY2025 10-K Item 2 lists 'Hyatt Regency Long Beach (2), Long Beach, CA, 531' rooms among its owned and leased hotels. Footnote (2) reads 'Our ownership interest in the property is subject to a third-party ground lease on the land.' Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach (138 rooms) carries the same footnote. Exhibit 21 lists HY LONG BEACH HOTEL, LLC. Second source: the county parcel at 200 S Pine Ave (AIN 7278010911) is a 'Government Parcel' on reclaimed City tidelands. The hotel itself is taxed as a possessory interest, which this layer does not show. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
LA County's parcel service shows, to the dollar, what Long Beach's ground is assessed at, and never whose it is. Its biggest landholders are public, so the most prominent waterfront parcels are rows classed 'Government Parcel' with no value at all. Figures below were computed on 13 October 2026 against the 2026 roll for parcels whose tax-rate city is LONG BEACH.
Long Beach assessment roll, all parcels~$76.6B
~$44.16B land + ~$32.40B improvements over 104,578 of 106,481 parcels carrying roll values; computed as average × count because sums overflow the service. LA County parcel service, 2026 roll (s1).
Downtown (ZIP 90802) total assessed~$9.06B across 10,564 valued parcels
~$3.73B land + ~$5.33B improvements; average × count, LA County parcel service, 2026 roll (s1). Tidelands parcels classed 'Government Parcel' carry no value and are excluded.
Highest land value on a single parcel$147,906,449
AIN 7149006053, 2400 E Wardlow Rd, coded 'Heavy Manufacturing', 849,856 sq ft, base year 2019, improvements $11,376. Max() on Roll_LandValue, 2026 roll (s1). Owner not in the data.
Highest improvement value on a single parcel$397,251,697
AIN 7207010044, 2801 Atlantic Ave, coded 'Hospitals'. It carries a real-estate exemption of $405,374,268, so it is effectively off the tax roll. 2026 roll (s1).
Highest-valued office parcel$180,720,781 assessed
AIN 7278003035, 200 Oceangate, built 1983, 236,880 sq ft: $11,712,948 land + $169,007,833 improvements, 2020 base year, 2026 roll (s1). Molina Healthcare's FY2025 10-K gives 200 Oceangate, Suite 100 as its principal executive offices. It says only that Molina 'own[s] and lease[s] certain real properties', so the owner is not established (s31).

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Long Beach's largest landholder is the public: the City, as trustee of the tidelands the State granted it in 1911, 1925 and 1935, acting through its Harbor Department (the Port). Downtown's waterfront, including the convention center, the Hyatt's land and the Queen Mary, sits on those tidelands, as do the City-run oil islands. The county roll classes 831 Long Beach parcels as 'Government Parcel' but never names the agency, so the holdings below come from each body's own statements. Private hotels, offices and the Pike Outlets on that land hold leaseholds, taxed as possessory interests that the public parcel layer does not show.
| Name | Type | Holdings (as stated) |
|---|---|---|
| Port of Long Beach (City of Long Beach Harbor Department) State Lands Commission, Calendar Item 60 (9 Aug 2016): 'The City of Long Beach, acting by and through the Port of Long Beach (Port), is a trustee of the sovereign tide and submerged lands located within the Long Beach Harbor District... The Port encompasses 7,600 acres of land and water and includes 22 shipping terminals.' The grants are Chapter 676, Statutes of 1911; Chapter 102, Statutes of 1925; Chapter 158, Statutes of 1935. The Port is 'an independent city department' governed by a five-member Board of Harbor Commissioners. |
Government | 7,600 acres of land and water; 22 shipping terminalsA |
| City of Long Beach (tidelands and waterfront) City press release (4 Jun 2021) on regaining the Queen Mary and the surrounding 40+ acres; the City's waterfront page lists the Convention & Entertainment Center as a City asset and says the City 'manages a long-term ground lease with the Aquarium of the Pacific'. The City is also operator of the Wilmington Oil Field under the tidelands trust (see the oil rows). |
Government | Queen Mary plus 'over 40 acres of parks, cruise terminals and parking lots'; Convention & Entertainment CenterA |
| Long Beach Airport (City of Long Beach) LGB Business Partner Brief: 'the majority of LGB's 1,166 acres are reserved for the safe operation of aircraft'. It has '55 ground lease agreements in place, covering approximately 250 acres and $8.4 million in annual revenue'. The airport history page calls it 'the city-owned and operated airport'. The City Council bought the first 150 acres in 1923. |
Government | 1,166 acres; 55 ground leases on about 250 acresA |
| California State University, Long Beach (CSU — State of California) 'The university sits on a 322-acre campus and enrolls more than 41,000 students (projected for Fall 2026)' — CSULB's own About page. The campus is State land held through the CSU system. |
Government | 322-acre campusA |
| Long Beach Unified School District LBUSD's own page: 'more than 61,000 students in 83 public schools located in the cities of Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, and Avalon on Catalina Island'. It is the largest employer in Long Beach. No acreage is published there, and the count is not limited to the city. |
Government | 83 public schools (district-wide)A |
| California State Lands Commission The Commission oversees 'sovereign Public Trust lands and assets by legislative grantees who manage these lands in trust on behalf of the State' (s14). The City's Annual Plan and five-year Program Plan for the Long Beach Unit 'must be approved by the California State Lands Commission' (City EES page, s20). The Commission is the State's trust overseer here, not a holder of separate city parcels in any source we opened. |
Government | Oversight of the tidelands trust; approves Long Beach Unit plansA |
| California Resources Corporation (THUMS Long Beach Company) City EES page: 'THUMS Long Beach Company, operated by California Resources Corporation (CRC) on behalf of the City, runs four man-made islands in Long Beach Harbor'. CRC acquired THUMS in 2014. It is a field contractor on City tidelands, not a landowner; the City is the field operator. |
Public company | Contractor operating 4 THUMS islands (Freeman, White, Chaffee, Grissom)A |
| Tidelands Oil Production Company City EES page: 'Tidelands Oil Production Company operates the West Wilmington Field for the City of Long Beach. Its wells and production facilities are located in and around the Port of Long Beach, across dozens of sites within the Harbor District.' Operator, not owner; its corporate parentage was not checked. |
Not established | Contractor operating the West Wilmington field from sites in the Harbor DistrictA |

Rocket Lab's HQ lease runs to 30 June 2027. This establishes the landlord of one Douglas Park building, not the owner of the whole former Boeing site. |

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Long Beach is almost fully built out, and its new housing is mostly apartments. Census's Building Permits Survey shows 513 units for the city in 2025: 167 single-unit, 12 in two-unit buildings and 334 in 12 buildings of five or more. In 2024 it showed 477 (185 / 10 / 282). Long Beach reported 0 months to Census in both years, so these are Census imputations, not city counts. No homebuilder publishes a Long Beach figure. The listed builders below report California only inside a regional segment, so they are context, not a Long Beach league table. The City's permit records, which name contractors, sit behind data.longbeach.gov's /api/ and download paths, and its robots.txt disallows both, so they were not used.
| Name | Type | Homes delivered FY2025 (segment or group) |
|---|---|---|
| KB Home FY2025 10-K: the West Coast segment delivered 3,965 homes in 2025 (4,316 in 2024), out of 12,902 group-wide. The segment covers California and other western markets; no Long Beach figure is given. Headquartered in Los Angeles. |
Public company | 3,965 (West Coast segment)A |
| Tri Pointe Homes FY2025 10-K: West segment delivered 2,506 homes at an average of about $753,000, out of 4,947 company-wide. On 13 February 2026 it agreed to be acquired by Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd. No Long Beach figure is given. |
Public company | 2,506 (West segment)A |
| Lennar Corporation FY2025 10-K: 82,583 new home deliveries including unconsolidated entities (80,210 in FY2024). California sits within a regional segment; the filing gives no Long Beach figure. |

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Long Beach's listed landlords cluster in three places: the airport office parks, the industrial land near the port, and garden and mid-rise apartments. The figures below are each REIT's own Long Beach rows, summed from its FY2025 10-K property table. Several sit on public land: Kilroy's Airport Center and SITE's Pike Outlets are on ground leases, and Hyatt's two hotels are on third-party ground leases.
| Name | Type | Long Beach holdings at 31 Dec 2025 |

The ground-lease table lists 'Kilroy Airport Center Phases I, II, and III, Long Beach, CA' with contractual expiry July 2084; the lessor is not named. |

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- The current owners of Landmark Square (111 W Ocean Blvd) and One World Trade Center. The roll's 2014 base year on Landmark Square suggests a transfer after Brookfield's 2013 sale, but only a deed copy would name the owner.
- The owner of the Westin Long Beach (333 E Ocean Blvd, AIN 7281026031, 469 rooms, 2018 base year, $97.95M roll value). EDGAR search found only old Starwood subsidiary lists and no current filing.
- How title to the Long Beach Civic Center is split between the City, the Harbor Department and the Plenary-led P3 company. The financial-close reporting gives the financing but not the title.
- Boeing's remaining land at the former C-17 / Douglas site. Boeing's FY2025 10-K does not mention Long Beach, so no Boeing holding is recorded.
- The owner of the highest-value land parcel (2400 E Wardlow Rd, $147.9M land) and of 2401 E Wardlow Rd ($224.9M). Both are coded heavy manufacturing; the layer names nobody.
- Whether Molina Healthcare owns or leases 200 Oceangate, the most valuable office parcel.
- Whether the Shoreline Square loan (matures 6 Feb 2027) is in special servicing. Benchmark 2022-B34's later 10-D reports were not read.
- Port of Long Beach's own land figures and the City's tidelands parcel list: polb.com is Akamai-blocked and data.longbeach.gov's data endpoints are disallowed by robots.txt.
