Murphy Development Company (MDC) has started construction on two speculative industrial buildings, Building A, a 105,150-square-foot building, and Building C, a 123,913-square-foot building. The two buildings are coming out of the ground at Brown Field Technology Park (BFTP), a 52-acre corporate industrial and office park in the Otay Mesa area of San Diego. Completion of the two buildings is scheduled for the third quarter of this year.

These buildings will feature 32-foot clear heights, 4,000 amps of 277/480 volt power, wide column spacing and high dock-door ratios designed for distribution users. The facilities can accommodate a variety of requirements ranging from 50,000 to 229,063 square feet.

“We continue to see demand in Otay Mesa from Fortune 500 companies who are looking for best-in-class buildings with access to the strongest labor market in Southern California,” said R. Michael Murphy, president of MDC. “Brown Field Technology Park offers potential tenants state-of-the-art design, large setbacks, impeccable corporate image and landscaping coupled with San Diego’s lowest occupancy costs.”

JLL’s Andy Irwin, Ryan Spradling and Greg Lewis are overseeing leasing of the two buildings.

“Demand for industrial continues to surpass historical averages due to a major shift in e-commerce spending as well as growth in the manufacturing sector in Northern Mexico,” says Irwin.
