Waterside Dining Destination Delivered on San Diego’s North Embarcadero
San Diego-based Pacific Building Group delivered Portside Pier, a waterside dining destination on the Port of San Diego’s new pier along the North Embarcadero. The project includes a 42,000-square-foot, two-story building on top of a new pier on one of SoCal’s iconic, flagship waterfront restaurant sites at 1360 North Harbor Dr.
The project was developed by The Brigantine., Inc., and includes six indoor and outdoor dining options and viewing decks. The $25 million project’s notable architectural features include curved steel and zinc shingles on a barrel-shaped roof representative of an ocean wave, two stick-framed glass structures stretching 26 feet and 31 feet tall that resemble fishing baskets, and a 3,000-pound, three-dimensional octopus wall sculpture.
Pacific Building Group’s Jim Roherty says, “Portside Pier is one of the most distinctive, challenging and iconic San Diego projects we’ve helped bring to life. From maintaining the safety of marine wildlife, to working off floating barges around tides and waves to implementing COVID-19 safety regulations, this project presented a unique set of circumstances our team effectively managed.”
