In 1999 USAT completed construction of its third Aquarium Complex, including a full scale bar and restaurant, at Louis Vuitton's newly completed Comete Guam Building in Guam.  The Guam Project opened July 4, 1999 following an 11 month construction period.  The complex was completed under budget and ahead of schedule.

Through his earlier capacity, Mr. Pedersen was responsible for directing the teams that designed and developed UnderWater World® at PIER 39 in  San Francisco and UnderWater World® at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.  These projects were developed concurrently, opening in April 1996 and June 1996 respectively.  The PIER 39 project was constructed at a cost of approximately $41 million.  Its first year attendance was over 800,000 visitors.  The Mall of America project was constructed at a cost of approximately $25 million.  Its first year attendance was 1.2 million visitors.  USAT is not involved in the operation of the San Francisco or the Minnesota project.
