Ventura Mayor Joe Schroeder, along with city and county officials, recently celebrated the completion of Portside Ventura Harbor, a 300-residence, master-planned community that brings much needed residential, retail and vibrancy to Ventura Harbor’s long-vacant North Side. Under development since December 2016, the transformational project delivers a modern waterfront destination, completing the vision for a fully activated harbor for all of Ventura County.

Development team representatives included Jim Rosten, co-founder and principal of Benedict Canyon Equities; Michael Sondermann, owner of Sondermann Enterprises; and Greystar’s Rachel Bazdarich, business manager for Portside Ventura.  

Designed by Togawa Smith Martin Residential, Portside Ventura Harbor is the first significant new development in the harbor in 30 years. Spanning 27 acres, it features a mix of residential, retail, parks and outdoor community spaces. Among the early retailers currently operating include a local market and cafe, gelato shop, stand-up paddleboard and e-bike rentals, yoga studio, wellness center, art studio and gallery, with a couple of anchor tenants to be announced.
