Total development cost is about $700 million but will be built in phases. If you've been down there recenty (I was to see the Queen Mary 2) they've developed a portion of the promenade, placed lights on the Vincent Thomas Bridge and of course, the trolley is running.

now why are they taking gritty industiralisum and transforming it to posh commercialisum?

^ They need to remove those Housing Projects on Harbor Blvd.

Thats pretty much what I like about it, it has that gritty feel to it.

VERY NICE..

The development is something that the residents of San Pedro can be proud of. This community had been neglected for such a long time and considered, unfairly of course, a backwater....I'm not sure why some residents want to keep it the way it is, meaning "gritty"...I understand that the "grittiness" may evoke a certain kind of authenticity in one's life, but so does a nice, clean, well-kept and safe neighborhood.

its good for the residents but its not like the port of LA just sprung up overnight. when these people moved there they must have known full well that they were living right next to the most industrialized spot in LA... it seems like they are tring to change that

They really need to do something. Right now is so disappointed for me.

Howcome no one talks about the Azurra/ It is this 18 story tower that has just been completed, somewhere in the El Segundo area. This tower reminds me of Luma.

"Azurra" is a high-luxury condo conversion complex in Marina del Rey. It used to be called the "Water Terrace" when all the units were for lease. Next to it is "The Cove", another high-luxury condo complex under construction and next to that is the "Regatta." The Marina del Rey area is undergoing a renaissance as well. New apartment and condo buildings are being built next to the marina. East of Lincoln Blvd. in the light industrial area of MDR, a dozen lofts/apartment buildings are also under construction. I'll check the websites and post them here in a day or two.

hmm. interesting, I hope they acutally make these things, cause, as it is right now, the area is horrible
