TORRANCE, CA-GlobeSt.com was out and about last night at two industry events. First was at the Partner Engineering and Science Inc. open house of the company’s new headquarters at 2154 Torrance Blvd. in Torrance, CA. The new facility, just redeveloped, features solar panels, a green roof and energy efficient technologies, as GlobeSt.com exclusively reported a few days ago.

As GlobeSt.com exclusively reported, the building, which was built in 1960, was somewhat gutted already when it was first purchased by Partner for $2.08 million, but in an eight-month process, the firm stripped it down to the concrete, redid entire interior into office space and TBD tenant spaces, turned the roof into a 3rd floor housing a conference room and roof deck, and repaved and relandscaped all exterior areas and parking lot.

The building at 2154 Torrance Blvd., which had been vacant for 10 years before Partner started looking at it in 2010, is 20,000 square feet, and will house 75 professionals. The firm also has two ground-floor unoccupied tenant spaces that will be filled in the coming months.

Next up was a trip south to Santa Ana, CA, to join Buchanan Street Partners and hundreds of real estate professionals in celebrating the 3rd Encore for Education charity concert. Encore for Education is underwritten by sponsors from the CRE industry to support 501
