Construction has begun on a new two-story, 24k sf office and retail building in the Point Loma area of San Diego, along the San Diego Bay. The building, located at 5055 N. Harbor Dr, at the corner of Scott St, is designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification for Core & Shell from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Harbor Point will consist of nine office suites above three ground floor retail suites. The suites will range in size from 500k to 2.3k sf, with some offering private decks and mezzanine levels with Bay views toward the southeast. Completion is scheduled for August 2010.
Designed by F.L. Hope Architecture & Planning, the mixed-use project will feature high-end stone finishes on the exterior and in the elevator lobby. The main stairwell will showcase a Point Loma-themed art wall. Amenities will include secured and covered parking, free wireless Internet, high speed Internet access, men's and women's showers, operable windows, elevator service, an open second-floor courtyard, and bicycle parking. The building is in close proximity to Liberty Station, the San Diego Yacht Club, Spanish Landing and the San Diego International Airport, and within walking distance of restaurants, hotels, marinas, sport fishing, and public transportation.
To achieve LEED Certification, the building is designed as a high-performance facility that, when constructed, will be healthful, durable, affordable and environmentally sound. The building is also designed to complement LEED for Commercial Interiors, which will allow tenants to leverage the green attributes of the base building during tenant build-out. As a participant in SDG&E's "Savings by Design" program, the building aims to be 30 percent more efficient than California's Title 24 requirements for energy consumption, which in turn will reduce tenants' operating costs.
The Peckham Family Trust is the developer of the mixed-use project, with Mike Peckham providing oversight on behalf of the family. In addition, SENTRE Partners is the development manager, B&G Consultants is the construction manager, and Johnson & Jennings General Contracting is performing ground-up construction of the building. Bank of America is providing financing.
