Topaz San Pedro Waterfront
Welcome to Topaz: The waterfront business address for creative minds and the South Bay's only waterfront business address featuring spectacular ocean views from every floor.
A prominent and well-conceived 11-story office tower located on the waterfront in San Pedro, Topaz provides tenants a first-class work environment that's unequaled anywhere in the region. Offering a prestigious address for businesses that thrive in progressive workplaces, Topaz provides a Class-A canvas in which companies paint their ideal operational picture. Open, collaborative floor plan? Absolutely. Clean, modern, corporate? That works here too.
And much like SOMA in San Francisco and Venice, before it, San Pedro is at the tipping point of a new economic renaissance that has welcomed a wave of new creative, tech and bio firms. Mix that with million dollar commitments to the Port's O'Call waterfront redevelopment; the marine research and innovation center, AltaSea; the USS Iowa exhibit; CraftedLA; the World Cruise Center, and more, Topaz's San Pedro location offers companies a one-time opportunity to get in on the top floor.
Come experience the work style at Topaz, the gem of the South Bay.

Summary
The San Pedro Historic Waterfront is one of the last underdeveloped waterfronts on the California Coast. The Port of LA is among SoCal's most significant economic drivers, accommodating over 300 Billion worth of cargo annually
After years of consideration, projects are finally starting to come out of the ground in this exciting region. New infrastructure projects are underway and numerous new businesses are popping up on the Waterfront and Downtown.
With Multifamily Developers such as Holland Partners leaning in with new infill and Jerico's new mixed use project as the Ports O'Call Village breaking ground, this market is truly starting to build momentum.
Come see civic leaders, developers, and community stakeholders discuss the future of the region. This is not an event to miss! We look forward to seeing you there!
