Nordstrom executives are planning to move a Nordstrom Rack store from Lakewood to east Long Beach.

The Nordstrom Rack store has been open at Lakewood Center mall since 2010, according to a company announcement. The Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. plans to move the store to Long Beach Exchange, a planned shopping center that’s still a work in progress within the Douglas Park area of east Long Beach.

The relocated Nordstrom Rack may open in spring of 2018, according to the retailer.

Long Beach Planning Commission members approved plans for Long Beach Exchange, sometimes referred to as LBX, in October. Developer Burnham-Ward Properties, LLC of Newport Beach submitted plans calling for some 266,000 square feet of new buildings on about 27 acres of land southwest of where Carson Street crosses Lakewood Boulevard.

A 365 by Whole Foods grocery is also expected to do business at Long Beach Exchange.

Douglas Park is an office and commercial area in east Long Beach on former Boeing Co. land. Burnham-Ward’s designs for Long Beach Exchange include homages to Long Beach’s historic aviation industry. For example, the developer submitted plans for a hangar-shaped building designed to accommodate food vendors.

Nordstrom operates eight full-line stores and 11 Nordstrom Rack outlets in the Greater Los Angeles area. Nordstrom Rack stores opened in 2015 at the Plaza 183 shopping center in Cerritos and Marina Pacifica in southeast Long Beach.

In 2014, the retailer closed its Nordstrom Rack store in downtown Long Beach. City Place, the shopping center where that Nordstrom Rack had been open, is now in the midst of an overhaul intended to attract a more eclectic mix of new restaurants and other retailers.
