Port of San Francisco Terminal 27 & Wharf

The San Diego Unified Port District retained Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc. BA, along with a team of experts, to prepare a cruise market and economic impact assessment, and to subsequently provide guidance in the design of future facilities and operations that met market opportunities and challenges.
The construction phase was completed, well under the reallocated final budget, in November of 2010 and The Port Pavilion at Broadway Pier was dedicated in a public celebration on December 18th. 2010.
A program that initially comprised the design of a temporary terminal facility to be built atop one of the oldest existing Navy Piers in San Diego eventually evolved into a permanent 2-story, 52,250-sq.ft. steel framed structure that included vital structural improvements and seismic retrofitting of its pier in order to meet existing requirements. In addition to the structural improvements, new mooring hardware and a new fendering system were also provided. This terminal represents the Port of San Diego’s first “green” building. It has a photovoltaic system, solar reflective roof paint, tinted and fritted glare-free glass, and low-flow plumbing fixtures that have garnered the Terminal a Silver LEED rating.
