LOS ANGELES — Ambitious plans for a revamped waterfront along Los Angeles Harbor were revealed on March 2. Representatives from Los Angeles City Hall, the port district and private developers (The Ratkovich Company and Jericho Development) were on hand in San Pedro to announce the first phase of the L.A.

The Ratkovich Company and Jericho Development are the project’s developers.
