CURRENT PROJECTS

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. 

Town Square and Promenade


Plans include a new public promenade that runs parallel to the Los Angeles Main Channel for nearly one mile, meeting the new town square at 6th Street, just east of Harbor Boulevard. The promenade and town square will include such amenities as public seating, landscaping, hardscaping, signage, architectural finishes, handrails and lighting. Construction is expected to begin in 2019 at a total project cost of $32.9 million, paid by the Port of Los Angeles.

San Pedro Public Market


The San Pedro Public Market is envisioned to be an environmentally sensitive and sustainable urban environment - a vibrant, family-friendly shopping, dining, entertainment and recreational themed destination that will bring jobs, renewed economic vitality, and business opportunities to San Pedro and the LA Waterfront. The Market’s design aims to embrace and build upon San Pedro’s colorful history and proud traditions, drawing from the existing authentic character and heritage of the San Pedro community and the LA Waterfront as a working waterfront. Plans include 16 acres of restaurants, shopping, fresh markets, office space and a waterfront promenade with ample outdoor space and an open-air amphitheater for live entertainment. Construction began in 2017 at a partial project cost of $90 million, paid by the developer, LA Waterfront Alliance (The Ratkovich Company and Jerico Development). The San Pedro Public Market is expected to open in 2021.
