Dear Neighbor, 

As part of Beach Cities Health District’s efforts to keep the community informed about construction projects taking place on our campus, I am writing to let you know about some of the work being done on the BCHD Campus:

allcove Beach Cities - 1272 Beryl Street Lot
Grading work is complete for the permanent home of allcove Beach Cities, and concrete for the building’s footings has been poured (see photos below). The construction schedule (M–F, 7 a.m.–6 p.m.) has been adjusted to include permitted Saturday work (9 a.m.–5 p.m.) at the site, in accordance with RBMC Section 9-1.12. The allcove Beach Cities building is now scheduled to be completed by May 2027.

Center for Health & Fitness - 510 N. Prospect Building (Top Floor)
BCHD’s Center for Health & Fitness (CHF) continues interior renovations on the building's top floor and began installing drywall this week. The project is currently on schedule, and the new center is expected to open March 2027. In conjunction with construction at the site, CHF has launched a fundraising effort to purchase new equipment for CHF, which would enable the center to open with new cardio equipment (treadmills, arc trainers, bikes, and seated steppers) as well as new yoga and group exercise equipment (dumbbells, bands, mats, etc.). If you would like to support this effort, you can do so at https://givebutter.com/centerforhealthandfitness

Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly - 510 N. Prospect Building (Main Floor)
LA Jewish Health, a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) provider, has completed its interior tenant improvements on the main floor of the building. In the coming months, construction teams will do some additional work to the main entrance area and create a new drop-off location and ADA-accessible ramp for PACE clients. This work is expected to be done before the end of the year and will include some construction noise and rerouting of traffic on the site during the construction process.

(Note: The 510 Prospect Avenue building is not owned or operated by Beach Cities Health District. Work was done on the main floor of the 510 building by a contractor hired by the new PACE tenant.)

Sunrise Senior Living - 514 N. Prospect Building: The due diligence period for Sunrise Senior Living is scheduled to conclude October 29. The BCHD Board of Directors is expected to consider an EIR Addendum for the previously certified Healthy Living Campus EIR at its public meeting on October 28. Once the ground lease is executed, the next steps will be applying for entitlements with the City of Redondo Beach and beginning the process for a Conditional Use Permit for the project.

For more information about the work being done on the BCHD Campus, please visit www.bchd.org/construction. On that page, you can sign up to receive updates about the various BCHD projects underway. We also encourage community members to contact us with any construction-related concerns or issues by using the feedback form available on that page.

We will continue to share additional updates as work progresses.

As mentioned above, BCHD has engaged with the community in many ways over the last decade regarding plans for the Prospect Avenue Campus. The Health District has taken many steps in response to comments it has received from residents, including:

• Reducing the number of Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) units (assisted living, memory care) from more than 400 to 217;
• Changing the placement of campus buildings away from the eastern border of the campus in response to Torrance neighbors;
• Reducing the number of stories in the RCFE building from six levels to four; The height of the buildings was approved to be 82 feet tall in the certified EIR; current plans call for a maximum height of 60 feet;
• Reducing the length of construction from nine years to four;
• Keeping the 510 Prospect Ave. building after concerns were raised by neighbors on Diamond St. The 510 building is the future home of the Center for Health & Fitness and a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) center.
• Open space is part of the campus plan, a feature we heard about from residents during study circles conducted early on in the planning process;
• An aquatics facility is also being planned, again in response to residents’ input.
