The Port of Los Angeles has sent out a
request for proposals for the development of a 30-acre parcel of land on the
waterfront.
“We are investing hundreds of millions of
dollars in public waterfront infrastructure along 16 miles of
community-adjacent port property at the Port of Los Angeles,” port Executive
Director Geraldine Knatz said.
The development site includes 3,000 linear
feet of rare water frontage and 375,000 square feet of retail and tourism-related
entitled uses and is located at the south end of the Harbor (I-110) Freeway.
The parcel, which was originally developed
as Ports O’ Call Village in the 1960s, is located within walking distance of
the port’s World Cruise Center, which sees hundreds of thousands of cruise
travelers each year, and the USS Iowa battleship museum.
The port says it plans to select a master
developer to carry out a comprehensive redevelopment of the property and enter
into a long-term ground lease, and that applicants will be reviewed based on
their development vision and strategy for the site, their experience in
developing premiere and unique commercial real estate projects and experience
working with public agencies.
Developers interested in responding can
attend a pre-proposal meeting at 2 p.m. Wed, Aug. 8 at The Plaza at Cabrillo
Marina, 224 Whalers Walk, San Pedro, CA, 90731. The port’s request for
proposals and project brochure is available at
