Seaport Village Shell Company

Located Downtown on West Harbor Dr and Pacific Hwy, Seaport Village Shell Company is adjacent to Embarcadero Park North and just a five minute drive from the airport and cruise ship terminal.  Seaport Village is built on landfill over Punta de los Muertos (Point of the Dead) where the Spanish expedition of 1782 buried those who had died of scurvy. In later years it was a railroad yard where goods and other products were unloaded from ships and loaded aboard trains for shipment east. Seaport Village broke ground in 1978 and opened in 1980. Seaport Village Shell Company is a 14 acre waterfront shopping, dining and entertainment complex that recreates a harbor side setting from a century ago.
