GlobeSt.com: How is the company's approach to this market different from its approach to the Orange County market?

Turner: The company has focused its investments in coastal California markets near world-class universities that offer outstanding housing, an educated workforce and a diverse economy.

In San Diego—as we have in all our markets—the company continuously researches and talks to local companies, civic leaders and innovators with the goal of offering a world-class, customized experience. For example, we launched the Vine, our start-up community, in San Diego. The program provides free or affordable office space, access to potential funding and advice in a collaborative work environment. In its sixth year, the Vine has helped more than 140 new San Diego-based companies create 1,000 new jobs, generate more than $1 billion in angel, venture-capital and acquisition funding and elevate the region's reputation for tech innovation.

GlobeSt.com: What does the San Diego office market need more of currently?

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.

We benefit because we rarely sell our real estate. So, we take a long-term view, looking to build partnerships with companies that often last decades. Our KINETIC fitness and wellness movement; our on-demand food services; the outdoor, Wi-Fi enabled meeting and gathering spaces; the happy hours; and more are all a result of our deep research into the quickly evolving needs and desires of the workforce.
