San Pedro Waterfront Revitalization Project Makes Big Progress
Big progress has been made on the refresh of the San Pedro waterfront as one of its iconic restaurants has inked a long-term deal.
San Pedro Fish Market Signs 49-Year Lease
The famed San Pedro Fish Market, which has been around for decades, has signed a near 50-year lease. The restaurant, which can seat 3,000 people, will be located next to the largest Ferris wheel in California, which is part of the project’s Phase 2.
Phase 1 Progress
Like a gleaming industrial cathedral on the water, the completed buildings of the first phase of the San Pedro waterfront redo called “West Harbor” beckons of new beginnings. The project, which is being developed by the LA harbor, is a 350,000 square foot complex that brings the water closer to the people.
Eric Johnson with the West Harbor Project showed NBC4 the 30-foot high interiors, glass, steel, and concrete that make up the project. The complex will house retail and restaurants, and the LA harbor, which is spending $1 billion on the port, created the new one-mile long promenade that separates the complex from the water.
Phase 2 Promises
Phase 2 of the project promises a recreation area, a 50,000 square foot pickleball court, the largest Ferris wheel in the state, and an outdoor park. The Ferris wheel, which is 175 feet tall, will dwarf Santa Monica’s and offer stunning views of the harbor.
Timeline and Future Phases
We could start seeing businesses move into Phase 1 early next year, with Phase 2 expected to be completed in late summer. Additional phases could include a 6,200-seat amphitheater at the end of the waterfront.
Conclusion
The San Pedro waterfront revitalization project is a major undertaking that aims to bring new life and new interest back to the city on the bay. With big progress made on Phase 1 and Phase 2 promising a recreation area and entertainment options, the project is shaping up to be a major success.
