Gafcon, Inc. is collaborating with Jerico Development and The Ratkovich Company by providing pre-construction and project management services for the $150M public market in San Pedro located on 42-acres of waterfront property. This project, which started as a shared vision between the Port of Los Angeles and the local San Pedro community, was memorialized in the 2009 San Pedro Waterfront Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR). The Los Angeles Harbor Commission called for proposals to develop the site in 2012 and since then, Jerico Development and The Ratkovich Company have worked collaboratively with the local community to develop the plans we are working to deliver today.

After plans were revealed in March 2016 for the $100 million renovation of the San Pedro’s famed, 30-acre waterfront area known as Ports O’ Call, not many were impressed—including the large portion of Long Beach fisherman and sailors who bounce back and forth between Ports O’ Call and Long Beach. The initial proposals, marked by saturated colors and nods to the berths of the 1950s and 60s, were eventually replaced by the current renderings below that offer a more warehouse, earth tone-centric aesthetic.
