HSR and Haseko North America Break Ground on 281-unit Waterfront Community in Los Angeles

High Street Residential (HSR), the residential subsidiary of Trammell Crow Company (TCC), and JV partner Haseko North America, Inc., have broken ground on Jules San Pedro, an eight-story mixed-use residential community located in the San Pedro Waterfront Arts District at the gateway to the Port of Los Angeles. The development will feature 281 market-rate residences and 1,276 square feet of ground-floor corner retail space.

A groundbreaking ceremony took place on Thursday, March 5, bringing together civic leaders, project partners, and community stakeholders to celebrate the next chapter for San Pedro’s growing waterfront. Remarks were delivered by Mike Galvin, Director of Waterfront and Commercial Real Estates, Port of Los Angeles; Aksel Palacios Port & Capital Projects Director Council District 15 - City of Los Angeles; Alex Valente, Principal for High Street Residential's Southern California Office; Laurie Mathers, Head of Investment and Asset Management, Haseko North America, Inc.; Elise Swanson, President & CEO, San Pedro Chamber of Commerce; and John Bagakis, Vice President, Area Planning Commission. The event underscored strong public-private collaboration in the continued evolution of Downtown San Pedro and the Waterfront Arts District.

“San Pedro is entering a defining chapter in its evolution,” said Alex Valente, Principal with High Street Residential. “As substantial public and private investment transforms the waterfront and strengthens the district’s mixed-use foundation, we see durable long-term demand for well-located, high-quality housing. Building on the success of Vivo on Harbor, Jules San Pedro underscores our confidence in San Pedro’s continued growth and our commitment to investing in its future.”

Located at 155 W. 6th Street on a 1.29-acre full city block, Jules San Pedro is directly adjacent to Piazza Miramare and within walking distance of the Little Italy district’s growing collection of dining, retail, and fitness offerings. The project is located across the street from the $500 million West Harbor project, the 42-acre mixed-use entertainment destination, further reinforcing San Pedro’s continued emergence as one of Los Angeles’ most dynamic coastal neighborhoods. Jules San Pedro marks HSR’s second development in Downtown San Pedro, building on the success of Vivo on Harbor, which welcomed residents in February 2025.

Designed by KFA Architecture, the eight-story podium community will offer a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom residences. The project’s amenity program is centered around its signature rooftop experience, including a sky lounge and rooftop deck with expansive harbor views. Additional amenities will include a resort-style pool with a deck and landscaped courtyard featuring a sauna and spa; a clubhouse and indoor/outdoor fitness space; multiple barbecue areas; a pet spa; and an oversized coworking lounge with conference rooms and collaborative work areas. The community will include 1.5 levels of below-grade parking and will be Greenpoint Rated, incorporating sustainable features such as EV charging stations and a rooftop, net-metered solar photovoltaic system.

“Jules San Pedro represents the kind of thoughtful, high-quality investment that strengthens both our business district and our broader community,” said Elise Swanson, CEO and President of the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce. “As the Waterfront Arts District continues to evolve alongside transformative projects like West Harbor, new residential developments bring vitality, foot traffic, and sustained support to our local businesses. We’re excited to welcome Jules San Pedro as another milestone in San Pedro’s continued growth.”

Westport Construction will serve as general contractor, with construction financing fully secured for the project. The residential community is on track for completion in Q2 2028, perfectly timed ahead of the 2028 Summer Olympics, during which San Pedro will serve as the host for Olympic sailing events, positioning Jules San Pedro at the heart of a globally spotlighted waterfront and highlighting the neighborhood’s emergence as a premier Los Angeles destination.
