A CONCEPTUAL DRAWING of the SteelCraft Garden Grove project planned for a 2018 opening.

The proposed SteelCraft urban eatery project won approval from the Garden Grove Planning Commission at its Nov. 16 meeting.

A two-story, 9,532-square foot building will be erected at 12900 Euclid St., between Acacia Parkway and Garden Grove Boulevard in the civic center area. The vote was 6-0 in favor, with member Jeremy Lehman absent.

The developer – SteelCraft Long Beach LP – plans to construct the facility primarily out of recycled and repurposed metal shipping containers.

This SteelCraft Garden Grove location is expected to include space for local artisan food vendors and outdoor communal dining areas, entertainment, “incubator” office space and micro-retail office space on a 1.86-acre site.

It’s expected to house about 14 businesses, making it larger than the original location in Long Beach. The list of potential clients include craft food and dessert eateries, a coffee shop, a craft micro-brewery and taproom and a craft wine vendor. In addition, the project will include a 1,588-square foot garden area.

The dining areas would be in the center on the first floor, at the front facing Euclid Street and on the second floor. Hours for the project are expected to be from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, with hours of 6 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday.
