A rare double lot on the Manhattan Beach Strand presents a prime development opportunity at 2120 The Strand, with approved plans by architect Michael Lee for a custom single-family residence and a duplex. The $24 million property offers a head start, saving time and money by bypassing the lengthy coastal development permitting process. The proposed designs feature contemporary aesthetics, indoor/outdoor living spaces, and ocean views.
