The gateway to San Francisco's southern waterfront will experience an amazing transformation in the next five years that will catapult the city into a new league of international cruise ship travel and waterfront recreation.

Piers 30-32 at the foot of Bryant and Spear streets in San Francisco's South Beach neighborhood will become home to one of the world's finest cruise ship terminals - the James R. Herman International Cruise Terminal.

This state-of-the-art facility is part of The Bryant Street Pier - an innovative mixed-use development that will feature public open space, five-star restaurants, office and retail space, condominiums with breath-taking views, a public pier for day use, a multi-screen cinema, waterfront promenades and a public park.

San Francisco Cruise Terminal, LLC (SFCT) is leading this ambitious $360 million development, the majority of which is scheduled for completion in 2008. SFCT is a team of world-renowned maritime and real estate experts that was selected by the San Francisco Port Commission for this maritime development project.
