**Port of Los Angeles Issues RFP for First New Container Terminal Since 2002**
The Port of Los Angeles has announced a request for proposals (RFP) for the pre-development of Pier 500, a new standalone marine container terminal to be located along the Pier 400 Channel. This would be the first terminal constructed at the Port since the completion of Pier 400 in 2002.
Pier 500 is proposed as a 200-acre development, featuring two new berths and approximately 3,000 linear feet of new wharf space. The site includes a 124-acre submerged area, originally developed during the construction of the adjacent Pier 400, which the Port plans to leverage for this project.
“For the first time in a generation, the Port of Los Angeles plans to build a new container terminal to meet global supply chain demand for decades into the future,” said Executive Director Gene Seroka. “The development of the cleanest terminal possible would enhance our efficiency and sustainability while creating new jobs in our communities.”
The deadline to respond to the RFP is January 29, 2026.
