Description:

Situated on the former site of the San Pedro Ports O’ Call, the West Harbor development is a transformative project along the LA waterfront. Spanning 42 acres with one mile of direct waterfront access, this development offers 375,000 square feet of food and beverage, retail, and entertainment options. Notable features include a 6,200-seat amphitheater, 200,000 square feet of waterside attractions, and accessibility by car or boat, complete with a courtesy dock for water access. Commencing construction in 2022, the grand opening is anticipated in 2025, marking a significant milestone in revitalizing this iconic waterfront destination.
