Gladstones | Pacific Palisades
A brand new Gladstones location is slated to anchor a development on the former site of San Pedro’s Ports O’ Call, according to Eater Los Angeles. Now called West Harbor, the development is slated to be completed in 2022.
The announcement comes as the uncertainty of the future of the Pacific Palisades location remains unclear—there are plans for the space that houses Gladstones on Pacific Coast Highway to be redeveloped by Thomas Tellefsen, with Frank Gehry signed on to design.
Eater LA reported that the San Pedro location shares the same owners as the Long Beach version. Other tenants slated to fill the West Harbor space will include a concept by Greg Morena, who runs The Albright, and a restaurant/market by chef and owner Robert Bell, according to Eater. A brewery and beer garden are reported to also be in the works.
