How Irvine Co. Views the SD Office Market

Turner: “The region would benefit from a continuously enhanced workplace experience and more dynamic amenities, events and services customized for the modern worker, who blends life and work more than ever.”

SAN DIEGO—In San Diego—as in all its markets—Irvine Co. Office Properties continuously researches and talks to local companies, civic leaders and innovators with the goal of offering a world-class, customized experience, John Turner, the firm’s regional VP, tells GlobeSt.com. As we recently reported, the company has purchased a two-building, 127,000-square-foot office project named Township 14 in the Del Mar Heights submarket here—its first acquisition in Del Mar Heights.

While Irvine Co. is bullish on the UTC market here, as evidenced by projects like One La Jolla Center in 2015, it also has holdings in other areas of San Diego. We spoke with Turner about how the company views San Diego office submarkets outside of UTC and how it approaches the market as compared to Orange County.
