The Port of San Diego Board of Commissioners will hear updates on the Seaport San Diego project and will consider authorizing the commencement of an environmental review as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. The 1HWY1 development team has been refining its proposed project since being selected in 2016 after a competitive process. They have been working on changes to the project description in response to Board and stakeholder feedback, due diligence findings, and input from prospective partners.

The Central Embarcadero is a prime site on the San Diego Bay waterfront and includes Seaport Village, Embarcadero Marina Park North, Ruocco Park, and Tuna Harbor. The Fish Market and The Headquarters are not within the potential redevelopment area. The proposed redevelopment area is between Manchester Grand Hyatt and USS Midway on the waterfront of San Diego Bay, a location that sits on the prime site of Central Embarcadero.

The proposed mixed-use development program features over 70% public realm space that includes parks, open spaces and plazas, piers, walkways, beaches, nature trails, shared streets, and public rooftop. There are also plans for hotels at various service levels and price points, an event center, a “Blue Tech Innovation Center” block made up of an aquarium, blue tech office space, and an observation tower, commercial fishing facilities, restaurants, retail, and more.

The Board meeting is scheduled for 1 pm on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, and will take place in the Boardroom at the Port Administration Building at 3165 Pacific Highway in San Diego. Information on how the public can attend, view and/or participate in the meeting is available at portofsandiego.org/centralembarcadero.

The Port of San Diego serves the people of California, managing a diverse portfolio to generate revenues that support vital public services and amenities. From cargo and cruise terminals to hotels and restaurants, from marinas to museums, from 22 public parks to countless events, the Port contributes to the region’s prosperity and remarkable way of life on a daily basis.
