BLT Completes Kearny Mesa Office, R&D, Flex Conversion

Santa Monica-based BLT Enterprises completed renovations of a 77,000 square-foot, two-story office building in the Kearny Mesa submarket of San Diego, which the company acquired in May 2017. The building was converted back to its original 54,000 square-foot size by removing the dated addition of a second-story office space constructed in the late 1980s.

BLT Enterprises’ Bernard Huberman says, “The 1980s renovations converted the property into a two-story building. The move to add the second floor was clearly detrimental to its design and use. With the added second floor, the property was severely under-parked. By restoring the property back to its original size as a single-story R&D/Flex building, we were able to transform the asset into a highly-desirable open space facility, and significantly enhance the parking ratio to 4/1,000.”

Additionally, a series of improvements were integrated to modernize the property located at 5454 Ruffin Rd. to appeal to tenants.
