In addition to the two office buildings, the next phase will add a 20,000-square-foot conference center and a cafeteria to development of the 38-acre site. When completed, the new campus is expected to include 900,000 square feet of modern, efficient office space, built to LEED Gold certification standards, along with two multi-level parking structures. Mike McNerney, senior vice president of Lowe Enterprises Real Estate Group, says that the company is proceeding ahead of schedule and under budget to deliver the project.

The County Operations Center, located on Overland Avenue, is being developed in three phases. The first phase includes two 150,000-square-foot, four-story, steel frame office buildings and a seven-level parking structure as well as off-site improvements to mitigate traffic impacts. The central plant that provides the mechanical systems to run the entire campus has already been completed and is operational. The first phase is scheduled to be substantially complete and available for occupancy in fall 2010, at which time construction of this next phase is slated to begin.

The final phase of the development is planned to include two additional 150,000-square-foot, four-story, office buildings, identical to the buildings in the previous phases, and another parking structure. The project team also includes RJC Architects, Roel Construction, Howard Wright Construction and Arciero Brothers Construction with the County of San Diego Department of General Services overseeing the project on behalf of the County Board of Supervisors.
