More are expected to be added soon, however, with the recent approval of the site plan for The Pearl at the 22-acre waterfront neighborhood by the southeastern approach of the John Ringling Bridge.
This new upscale project is scheduled to break ground in October 2016 for the redevelopment of two lots on the block of 609 Golden Gate Point just across west of the Pier 550 townhouses.

Planned as luxury townhouses, this project is set for 10 four-story units each having a total floor area of approximately 6,400 square feet and priced in the $2 million range.
