The Port of Los Angeles is moving forward with plans for Pier 500, a 200-acre state-of-the-art marine container terminal that would be the port’s first new terminal in a generation. The RFP seeks a public-private partnership for pre-development, including financial feasibility studies, entitlements, and environmental reviews. Located on Terminal Island’s southern tip, Pier 500 will feature two new berths and 3,000 feet of deep-water wharf, designed to accommodate larger, next-generation containerships and boost cargo efficiency. The project underscores the port’s commitment to future supply chain demands, sustainability, and job creation. Pre-development and construction are expected to span 10 years, with proposals due by January 29, 2026.
