en.Wedoany.com Reported - A $70 million reconstruction project has been launched at Harbor Island West Marina in San Diego, aimed at upgrading marina infrastructure and increasing public access to the bay shoreline. Representatives from the development team, the Port of San Diego, and project partners attended the marina's groundbreaking ceremony.
Located at 2040 Harbor Island Drive, the marina has been leased and operated by Beauchamp Leslie Development & Management from the Port of San Diego since 1981. Under a new 50-year lease, the company is advancing this reconstruction. Eric Leslie, CEO of Beauchamp Leslie Development & Management, stated that the project aims to create an iconic waterfront destination, allowing boaters and the public to experience the bay through improved access and more comfortable, modern facilities.
The reconstruction project covers 3.8 acres (1.54 hectares) of land and 22 acres (8.9 hectares) of water. Ann Moore, Chair of the Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners, stated that while modernizing infrastructure, the project creates new opportunities for residents and visitors to connect with the bay by expanding public access and the waterfront experience. Upon completion, the marina will feature 623 slips capable of accommodating vessels ranging from 20 feet to 140 feet (6 meters to 43 meters). New amenities include a boater lounge, fitness center, swimming pool, spa, a waterfront promenade and observation deck open to the public, and approximately 16,000 square feet (1,490 square meters) of commercial space.
Michael Zucchet, Vice Chair of the Port Commission appointed by the City of San Diego, stated that Harbor Island has always been an iconic part of the San Diego waterfront, and this transformation helps ensure it continues to serve boaters, visitors, and the community. Bellingham Marine is responsible for the over-water work, including the new dock system, utility upgrades, and marina infrastructure improvements. Pacific Building Group is handling the onshore construction, including the boater lounge, fitness center, public observation deck, and waterfront promenade. AO serves as the project's architecture, design, and planning firm. Construction will be phased to maintain marina operations and access as much as possible throughout the reconstruction plan.
