Longfellow Lands Office Asset from Shorenstein, Plans Lab Conversion

Longfellow Real Estate Partners acquired The Foundry, a 280,365-square-foot Class A office campus in San Diego from Shorenstein Properties LLC. The off-market transaction represents Longfellow’s third San Diego-based acquisition this year, and its sixth acquisition since entering the market in late 2018, boosting its portfolio to more than 960,000 square feet.

Longfellow plans to immediately begin executing a lab conversion plan for the Sorrento Mesa submarket property, which is comprised of two six-story office buildings at 9276 and 9330 Scranton Rd. The first labs will be completed in Q4 2021, delivering best-in-class space for a full range of life science tenants in a high demand market and the third largest biotech cluster in the U.S.

JLL’s Nick Psyllos, Michael Leggett, Lynn LaChapelle, and Sach Kirpalani represented both buyer and seller. NKF’s Steve Bruce and Chris High will handle agency leasing services.
