The company purchased the 71,862 square-foot asset from Apprentice and Journeymen Training Trust Fund of Southern California Plumbing and Piping Industry for $8.9 million. Magnum Properties and SD Realty Partners represented the buyer, while Commercial Properties Group and Voit Real Estate Services represented the seller.<\/p>\n<p>BLT\u00a0plans to modernize the 1981 property&#8217;s exteriors and add new mechanical systems as well as\u00a0employee amenities. The building, located at 5454 Ruffin Road, will be brought to its original size\u201452,000 square feet. The new owner will remove the 20,000 square feet of mezzanine added in the late 1980s, when the asset\u00a0was expanded into a two-story office building. This will result in an increased parking ratio of 4.25\/1,000, up from from 3\/1,000.<\/p>\n<p>The property is just off Interstate 15 and routes 52 and 163, close to retail amenities on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard.\u00a0The region\u2019s diverse economy includes healthcare, education, defense, construction, government and consumer product businesses.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Kearny Mesa is San Diego\u2019s largest and most dynamic R&amp;D and industrial submarket,&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0said BLT Founder &amp;\u00a0President Bernard Huberman in prepared remarks. &#8220;<em>The region\u2019s tightening vacancy rates are rapidly driving rent growth and will continue to increase property values over the next several years.
