play on her last name, Molina, in English. Millworks creates socially responsible investment

through adaptive reuse, business improvement, and community involvement. Millworks, also

known as Sixth & Pine Development, has projects in Downtown Long Beach, Orange & Santa

Ana, California and New Orleans, Louisiana, and specializes in what she calls, “extinct,

struggling or abandoned, but definitely lovable buildings and businesses”.

Completed projects include a couple of entertainment district restaurant improvements and resale,

the adaptive reuse of a former Head Start building, and the $60M reuse of the former Press

Telegram newspaper and adjacent historic Meeker-Baker buildings, which created over 1,000

new IT jobs and over $2B in community benefit. Projects currently in progress are an auto body

shop turned brewery, and the historic Packard car dealership, soon to open as a world-class rock

climbing gym. Their next labor of love involves an 1850 single-family home with servants’

quarters in the Arts District in New Orleans perfectly suited for a creative short-term residential

unit, artist’s studios and gallery space.

Current business improvement projects include a former Crate & Barrel site turned into a

Revolving Loan Subcommittee, Michelle serves as the champion for city-wide policy

improvements for the entrepreneur, strengthening the local economy, and the value of supporting

During her seven-year tenure on the Downtown Long Beach Associates Board of Directors, a

street art and mural projects and booking live music and theater whenever possible. She’s grateful

she has a team who believes that people make the development special, even if they also make it

challenging. Her favorite pastime is staying one step ahead of her own people- two successful,

caring, and socially conscious teenagers. “I like to think of myself as a peacekeeper. I imagine

peace as an artform. It doesn’t mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard

work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.”
