• Westwood Financial Pays $56M for Huntington Beach, Calif., Shopping Center (commercialobserver.com) — A major Huntington Beach shopping center, Peninsula Marketplace on Goldenwest Street, has been sold for about $56.2 million, underscoring strong investor interest in local grocery-anchored retail. With Ralphs, Planet Fitness, and several eateries nearly filling the center, the deal highlights how rarely coastal Huntington Beach retail properties change hands and signals continued confidence in the city's neighborhood shopping hubs.
• Sumanta Pal: SoCal GU Cancer Forum Brings Regional Clinical Trials Into Focus (oncodaily.com) — Huntington Beach will host the 4th Annual SoCal Genitourinary Cancer Research Forum at the Waterfront Hilton on March 5, 2027, bringing regional cancer specialists to town. The meeting will spotlight clinical trials for prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers, drawing clinicians from major Southern California institutions and briefly turning the city into a hub for cutting-edge GU oncology collaboration.
• After October heat wave, Southern California braces for rain, flooding and high surf (ocregister.com) — Huntington Beach residents can pick up free sand and sandbags at the Edison Community Center, Warner Fire Station, and the city's Corporate Yard ahead of expected rain, flooding, and high surf this weekend. Forecasters warn that moisture from Tropical Storm Rachel could bring heavy coastal waves, cooler temperatures, and minor flooding risks across Orange County, especially Sunday through Tuesday.
