PROJECTS UNDERWAY

The LA Waterfront consists of a series of waterfront development and community enhancement projects blanketing more than 400 acres of existing Port of Los Angeles property in the harbor communities of San Pedro and Wilmington. This area has changed dramatically over the past decade, and there is still much more to come. The Port of Los Angeles remains committed to supporting projects that provide additional open space and encourage public access. Below is a snapshot of approved projects underway.

AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles is a 35-acre campus bringing people together to expand science-based understanding of the ocean; incubate and sustain ocean-related business; pioneer new ocean-related education programs that accelerate scientific collaboration, facilitate job creation and inspire the next generation for a more sustainable ocean. Built on a historic pier at City Dock No. 1 with access to the deep ocean, AltaSea is a nonprofit organization with a Board of Trustees that oversees its organization, construction and capital campaign. A few notable partners include Southern California Marine Institute, The Boeing Company, NASA and E/V Nautilus with Dr. Robert Bollard.  The 2.1 Megawatt Solar Panels install on AltaSea roof was completed in 2022.
