Nearly 160 apartments, including six penthouses and sweeping views of the city make The Edison, a mid-Century modern landmark of Long Beach, a place of residence to be desired.

The Edison luxury flats are now open and accepting applications for September occupancy, offering newly designed interiors and exclusive amenities, according to the announcement released Friday.

Developed by Waterton and the Kor Group, refurbished materials from the 1959 structure that stood as Long Beach’s first all-electric office building, pay homage to the original architecture.

“The Edison stands apart from all other communities in Southern California by combining the brilliance and sophistication of the original building with modern amenities,” said Mark Zettl, Chief Operating Officer of Waterton, in a statement. “This has been a compelling project for us to work on and we’re looking forward to bringing Waterton’s Resitality, our unmatched residential and hospitality commitment that offers a customer service experience that exceeds the resident expectations, at the Edison.”

Amenities include a fitness center, game room, conference room, an open-air rooftop with pool, an indoor and outdoor lounge, and community kitchen and grill station surrounded by 360-degree ocean and city views. Additional benefits include a pet-washing station, reserved parking, WiFi throughout the property and professional on-site management, according to the release.

Designed by Kelly Wearstler Interior Design, the apartment interiors reflect a classic mid-century aesthetic. Features include quartz countertops, polished concrete floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. All apartments include an in-unit washer/dryer set.
