by Brianna Crandall — ?June 19, 2015—As repositioning and renovations continue to outpace new construction starts for office space in San Diego, California-based McCarthy Cook, with New York- and London-based partner AllianceBernstein, has completed Sorrento Mesa’s largest office technology property renovation to date, Enclave Sorrento.
The upgrades and additions at this two-building, multi-floor, 213,000-square foot campus, located at 9808 and 9868 Scranton Road, elevate the property from Class B to Class A, according to global professional services and investment management firm JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle).
“Enclave Sorrento’s design provides better connections for employees, including open floor designs and four sky bridges interlinking the buildings,” said Brian Harnetiaux, vice president, Asset Management, at McCarthy Cook. “We’ve also connected the indoors and outdoors with lots of daylighting and some collapsible exterior walls to create work and gathering spaces that boost inspiration, productivity and enjoyment.”
The $38 million renovation for Enclave Sorrento included a new, five-story parking structure, two-story glass enclosed lobbies, new hotel-grade restrooms, a café and tenant lounge with a fold-away glass wall system and large screen televisions, and a fitness and yoga center with locker rooms. Enclave Sorrento tenants will also have access to a shuttle service from the Coaster and a shared free bicycle program.
“Enclave Sorrento has generated tremendous interest, and we already have serious commitments for over half of the building from some of the nation’s largest companies,” said JLL Executive Vice President Chad Urie, who is marketing the space along with JLL’s Executive Vice President Tony Russell and Senior Vice President Tim Olson.
Gensler provided architectural design for Enclave Sorrento, and DPR Construction provided construction services.
