Don Henry Henry: “The building is surrounded by a multitude of restaurants, a variety of residential offerings, convenient transportation options and other amenities that appeal to the office-sector workforce.”

SAN DIEGO—Little Italy is a vibrant community in the heart of a scenic seaside location, providing tenants a tremendous amenity base, Gemini Rosemont Commercial Real Estate’s COO/CIO Don Henry tells GlobeSt.com. As we recently reported, the Santa Fe, NM-based firm has acquired 19-story 610 West Ash, the only class-A high-rise office building in the Little Italy submarket of Downtown San Diego, adding 177,489 rentable square feet of space to its portfolio. The building, which myreta.com says is 62% occupied, was purchased through a partnership with Gemini Rosemont and Central Properties from what industry sources identify as Blackstone for $55 million. We spoke exclusively with Henry about the high-profile purchase and what it likes about Little Italy.
