Long Beach’s Planning Commission approved a developer’s plans to build four new industrial buildings within the Douglas Park complex.

Douglas Park is a commercial and office complex in the northeast part of the city, located roughly between Long Beach Airport and Long Beach City College. Its master developer, Sares-Regis Group of Irvine, had proposed to build a quartet of new industrial buildings ranging in size from some 70,000 to 134,000 square feet.

Planning commissioners approved the plans during Thursday’s meeting, Development Services Department spokesman Kevin Lee said in an email.

Virgin Orbit and Mercedes-Benz are among companies maintaining a presence at Douglas Park. An under-construction shopping center called Long Beach Exchange, or LBX, is expected to open there in 2018.
