The space would be oriented toward the bay, with tiered seating designed to frame sunset views while hosting small-scale performances, community events, and educational programming.
The proposal also outlines a limited expansion of retail and dining, with a handful of waterfront concepts designed to complement existing pier tenants. Early ideas include a raw bar and a small café situated on floating platforms.
According to the submission, the total project cost is estimated at $250 million, with funding envisioned through a mix of private capital, sponsorships, and potential public infrastructure partnerships.
The development team describes the concept as “light-touch and environmentally responsive,” with an emphasis on education and passive recreation rather than large-scale commercial development.
City officials confirmed receipt of the proposal but noted it is still in the early stages of review.
“The city has received an unsolicited concept related to a potential pier expansion,” a spokesperson said. “As with any proposal, it will go through an initial evaluation process before any decisions are made.”
