Harbor Island West Marina held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the official start of construction of its $70-million redevelopment project, intended to enhance the bayfront experience for recreational boaters, marine businesses and the greater San Diego community.
Development leaders, Port of San Diego officials and project partners gathered at Harbor Island West Marina to commemorate the large-scale revitalization project that delivers modern marina infrastructure and expanded public access to one of San Diego Bay’s most established waterfront destinations.
“This is an exciting step forward in San Diego Bay’s continued transformation,” said Eric Leslie, CEO of Beauchamp Leslie Development & Management. “Alongside our community partners, we’re focused on creating an anchor waterfront destination that will allow boaters and the public to experience the bay with improved access and more comfortable, modern amenities.”
Beauchamp Leslie, a longtime steward of San Diego’s waterfront, has leased and operated the Harbor Island West Marina site at 2040 Harbor Island Dr. from the Port of San Diego since 1981. The company is leading the redevelopment under a new 50-year lease agreement.
