This Submarket is Not What It Used to Be

Clark: “Santee is a community that caters to families, and the household income numbers are surprising.”

SANTEE, CA—The perception that many outsiders have of Santee, CA, is one of a backwater town with not much going on, and that is just plain wrong, the Heritage Group’s senior director Kyle Clark tells GlobeSt.com. The firm recently represented Santee Station LLC in signing Whissel Realty and Mimi’s Nails for five-year leases at the retail center Santee Station. Jeff Gilbert of Kidder Matthews represented Whissel Realty, while Tiffany Nho Le, DBA Mimi’s Nails, represented herself.

As we reported in June 2015, the Santee City Council had recently approved the Santee Station development group for the four-building commercial center, located on 2.65 acres at 8866 N. Magnolia Ave. here. Construction on the center began late last year, and completion is anticipated in September, with a few suites still available. The total project size is expected to be 17,170 square feet.
