Over the coming years, the San Pedro Waterfront is expected to become a regional hub of commercial activitity, thanks to the $500 million AltaSea Marine Research Center and the planned redevelopment of the Port o' Call Village. Now, the City of Los Angeles is exploging the possibility of adding apartments and hotel rooms to the mix.
