Port of San Diego Issues Request for Proposals for Interim Operation of Seaport Village
by Nellie Day
SAN DIEGO — The Port of San Diego has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to select a third-party management and operation company on an interim basis for Seaport Village after the current lease expires on Sept. 30, 2018. The port wants to ensure the shopping and dining complex remains a waterfront destination for residents and visitors until the Port’s planned redevelopment of the Central Embarcadero. The presentation to the Board of Port Commissioners is scheduled for Dec. 5. The board selected the 1HWY1 team and their “Seaport San Diego” concept in late 2016 for the redevelopment of the Central Embarcadero, which includes Seaport Village and surrounding areas. The design, planning and permitting will likely take several years due to the size of the redevelopment and uniqueness of some of the proposed programmatic components.
