Beach Boulevard Revitalization Progress in West Anaheim |
|
|
|
October 12th was a great moment in the work to revitalize Beach Blvd. as demolition began of the old Americana Motel at Beach and Lincoln.
The demolition is a step forward in improving the site. Future development of this location will include 100 affordable apartments, 134 townhomes, and 5,000 square feet of retail space.
Mayor Harry Sidhu was onsite to observe the motel's removal and celebrate the continued revitalization of west Anaheim. He stated, “This is our commitment to west Anaheim in action!”
“The demolition of the Americana Hotel is the next step in bringing new development and new investment to Beach Boulevard, and driving prosperity to West Anaheim,” said District 1 Councilman Jose Diaz, who was also on hand to observe the demolition. “I was thrilled to witness this important milestone, which is the result of a lot of work.”
The 1.5 miles of Beach Boulevard that run through Anaheim has become the focus of intense re-development efforts in recent years. A 65-townhome community at the northeast corner of Beach and Lincoln Avenue called Nolin is expected to be completed in 2022.
