Contact: Marguerite Elicone (619) 686-6222

Work continues on the Marina Green project at America's Cup Harbor in Shelter Island.  At the October 7 Board of Port Commissioners meeting, a 424-space parking structure that will be built at the former Westy's Lumber site was approved.   The parking facility will provide parking for the Marina Green project plus additional parking to accommodate overflow parking for other businesses in the America's Cup Harbor area.

The Marina Green project is being developed by Point Loma Marina, LLC. The waterside project was first approved by the Board of Port Commissioners in September 2006. Three buildings, a 50-slip marina, a 16,000-square foot park and a new shoreline promenade are all part of the plan.

The first phase, which included two buildings, the marina, park, public promenade, a pedestrian pier and recreational dock and dine facilities was recently completed. The two buildings will incorporate a restaurant, marine-related offices and marina support facilities.

Point Loma Marina, LLC, has begun the second phase of the project. In addition to the parking garage, it includes construction of a 10,000 square-foot building, a 13,000-square foot public plaza and a public walkway that will provide access to the waterfront from the adjacent residential community.
