The earlier project with Candyfactory was put an ice for some time. Finally we now can start the next phase in September/October 2026. We expect to have the result end of December this year.
The Santa Cruz Wharf is a pier in Santa Cruz, California, United States, known for fishing, boat tours, viewing sea lions, dining, nightlife and gift shops. The current wharf was built in 1914, the most recent of six built on the site,[1] and is operated by the City of Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Office. The wharf is situated between Main Beach (which is adjacent to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk) and Cowell’s Beach, on the westside of the city of Santa Cruz. With a length of 2,745 feet (836.68 m) before the 2024 storm damage, it was the longest pier on the West Coast of the United States.[2]
4Dialog was selected to create a 3D vision of an enhanced wharf with input from City and local stakeholders. The current version of the wharf (June 2026) was partially built to design, however due to the upcoming tourist season, the city decided to make sure the wharf was safe to use. The images here are included with the long term vision as it was designed just before the storm damage.
