Newmark has completed an 87-month, 40,811-square-foot full-building lease in San Diego. The new tenant, a strategic business development and portfolio management company, Lighthouse Strategies, LLC, will move into its new space December 1, 2017. The space will be Lighthouse Strategies’ California headquarters.
Newmark’s Senior Managing Directors Steve Bruce and Chris High, along with Associate Conor Evans represented the landlord, CIRE Equity. The tenant was represented by Managing Principal Simon Terry-Lloyd and Advisor Zach Shaw of Cresa Global Inc.
Built in 1985 and situated on just under three acres, the two-story property is located at 10170 Sorrento Valley Road. Scripps Business Services Department had been the tenant for more than ten years and recently vacated the property. The Newmark team also negotiated a relocation for Scripps to the former Petco Campus site on Rehco Road on behalf of the landlord, LBA Realty.
“Our Newmark team and CIRE executed a strategic improvement plan immediately following Scripps move-out,” said Bruce. “The renovation included a new glass store front, the addition of skylights, major improvements to the exterior, a refurbished and enlarged lobby, and exposing the 14-foot clear height throughout most of the first floor. Upon completion, this property provided all the elements of a very modern and creative space attractive to tenants looking for a unique workplace for its employees and overall brand identity.”
10170 Sorrento Valley Road offers convenient freeway access and visibility from Interstate 805 and has an array of restaurant and retail amenities less than one mile away.
