Dana Point Harbor Revitalization

Dana Point Harbor, California

Located in Dana Point, California, this 62-acre marina-recreational facility will renovate and revitalize into a thriving mixed-use coastal destination, providing year-round activities for residents, boaters, and the general public. This revitalized harbor will upgrade amenities, facilities, dining, retail, public access ways, and walking views. Per the City of Dana Point and the County of Orange, our Project will continue to feature 119,000 square feet of a mixed-use program distributed among thirteen buildings.

This Project has become a master planning and urban design multi-phase redevelopment with the vision of a breezy, contemporary, traditional sun-kissed design that aims to increase access to the bay and ocean to diversify ecological and social life. One of the primary interests lay between the accommodation of parking and landscape features seamlessly designed to provide 1,697 parking spaces for boaters and the general public in the form of a new parking structure and surface parking.

These intricate contemporary building forms and elements will provide the necessary amenities for south Orange County with exceptional ocean views from every building by integrating a split-level pedestrian boardwalk and walkway that casually caters to the surrounding landscape. This revitalized harbor will include: seven new and six renovated buildings that will hold restaurants and retail spaces, a surf museum, renovated docks, eleven boater buildings, a new parking structure, and a new 360˚ observation tower will overlook the entire harbor. Two promenade lawns will provide hidden gems and urbanistic connections throughout the port, producing leisure and grand social activity spaces.

With the variety of façade treatments that fuse the diverse architectural styles of Dana Point, this collection of buildings will sustainably become the epicenter for dining, shopping, art, performances, and relaxation that Dana Point Harbor has to offer.
