2. When Lyon Communities began the renovation of their marquee downtown Long Beach
property, they set out to bring forth a new generation of sophisticated urban living. Modern
architecture, contemporary details, epic views and waterfront loft-style living make up the
“new” Lofts at Promenade. Situated in the heart of Long Beach, between Los Angeles and
Orange County, the community provides residents a unique work and play environment. In
searching for a fitness partner who understood the particular needs of this property, along
with the ability to integrate them into their rooftop Sky Fit Health Club, Yoga and Pilates
Studio, Lyon turned to Advantage Fitness Products. AFP provided facility design and
consultation support using its proprietary technology, DESIGN3, to illustrate placement,
functionality and flow of the state-of-the-art equipment and entertainment amenity. Precor
& Star Trac strength and cardiovascular equipment were selected, along with a variety of
specialized fitness accessories and training aids.
Project Summary:
Lyon Communities has overseen the acquisition and renovation of dozens of multi-family
communities with one goal in mind: the creation of real value for their residents and The
Lofts at Promenade is no exception. These downtown lofts offer a private sanctuary,
tranquil features and leisure activities for relaxation. Unique to the downtown Lofts at
Promenade, residents will find their way across the Sky Bridge to the exclusive rooftop Sky
Lounge, first-class barbecues, a refreshing pool and the private fitness facility all surrounded
by breathtaking city lights and mountain views.
These apartments provide a unique waterfront destination with the finest amenities
available. Each sun-drenched, open-spaced residence comes complete with light-filtering
roller shades, private balconies, upgradable fixtures and a culinary island if desired. The
Lofts at Promenade apartments are complete five-star living.
Lyon Communities called upon AFP to develop a full-scale fitness facility within the oasis of
The Lofts at Promenade.
Results:
Lyon Communities turned this dated community into a sophisticated cosmopolitan complex
with leading edge amenities, including a fitness facility that represents the latest in training
technologies and entertainment. AFP worked directly with key members of the Lyon team,
including their VP of Development, Senior Project Manager, and 3rd party Audio Visual and
Satellite contractors. AFP was involved from the earliest stages to ensure every element
would fit to create a fully functional fitness amenity upon opening.
AFP focused on providing overall facility design, functional equipment layout, and electrical
and entertainment specifications. The electrical layout in itself was a significant challenge
due to the outdated condition of the original structure. Precor treadmills, recumbent bikes,
and ellipticals, each featuring a personal viewing screen, comprised the cardio equipment. A
comprehensive circuit of strength training equipment from Star Trac rounded out the major
exercise offering. Free weights and accessories were placed throughout. To ensure ongoing
staff training, equipment maintenance, and operational support needs are met for the
fitness amenity, AFP provided its FitnessFacility.com platform, an online management tool
that assists in the day-to-day organization and technical support management for fitness
facilities nationwide.
