development prospects
• Include elements that require Corps
permits/EIS
• Revisions possible in response to
comments

Background
Ports O’ Call
Redevelopment Strategy
• 28 acre site with 1,800 parking spaces
• 210,000 sf original leasable space
• 59,000 sf of buildings demolished replaced
with open space
• Currently, 150,000 SF of leasable space
(131,000 SF leased, 19,000 SF vacant)
• Site primarily under lease to two operators
- Specialty Restaurant Corp.
- San Pedro Waterfront LLC

Ports O’ Call
Redevelopment Strategy
• Entitle redevelopment of existing site (150,000
SF) plus 150,000 sf of incremental
• Consider buy-out of existing Specialty
Restaurant Corp. lease
• RFQ to select master developer/operator
• Solicit input from developers prior to RFQ
process
• Structure lease terms to allow developer to
establish site in the near term
• Retain key tenants
• Consider parking fees with validation

Ports O’ Call
Conference Center
• Conference centers often times operate at a loss
(require operational subsidy)
• Benefits are in transit occupancy taxes on the hotel
rooms booked as a result of a convention
• Conference centers perform best with hotels adjacent
• Lack of adjacent hotels for Ports O’ Call site will impact
functionality of conference center
• 250-300 booking days are necessary for conference
centers to have the opportunity to be financially selfsustaining
