Outer Harbor Cruise Terminal
Los Angeles, CA
Berenblum Busch Architects has designed a new terminal complex for the Port of Los Angeles in the Outer Harbor district of San Pedro, conceived as both critical port infrastructure and a public waterfront destination. Developed by Pacific Cruise Terminals, LLC, a partnership between Carrix and JLC Infrastructure, the project combines a state-of-the-art cruise terminal with a three-acre publicly accessible park spanning the terminal and its parking structure. This multi-level open space introduces recreational areas and panoramic views across the harbor, significantly expanding public access to the waterfront. The design integrates passenger circulation, terminal logistics, and public space into a cohesive architectural system that balances operational efficiency with civic openness.
