The plan is for a full-service venue that will cater to corporate events, weddings, conferences and parties. The aesthetic will be very modern and upscale featuring plenty of glass (you would expect this based on the name, right?). As an added bonus, they plan to eventually add a cafe with "substantial" outdoor patio seating on Market Street. Another option is a bar/lounge concept.
This will fill up yet another key corner on Santa Clara Street and bring new life and activity to the block. The Glasshouse is shooting for a December opening.

ok. The city spent millions on San Pedro SQ, and now this.. now if you can build a small homeless shelter for all the people on the streets and the homeless encampments all over the city, that would be nice!
ReplyDeletewhat makes you think there is city funding in the project? looks to be a private investment -- which we should all support and appreciate.

The facts here are private money is taking a big chance on something that will benefit us all and we should be thanking them for that.
DeleteThe Redevelopment Agency, not the city, funded $5M of the San Pedro project. So you're both wrong, but the homeless problem is no relevant anyway.
ReplyDeleteI've heard the patio will be HUGE, something like 13K Sq Ft.
ReplyDeleteWe attended the oyster roast at Undercurrent Mar. 3, 2013. The newspaper piece advertising it said that there would be a low country oyster roast outside and, for an additional $27 or both for $40, you go inside and have Frogmore stew, enhanced oyster dishes, and salad.
