The Campus at Horton celebrates a milestone of its four-year renovation from a historical mall into a mixed-use office campus with the announcement of initial retail tenants, including Sprouts Farmers Market as an anchor tenant, as well as Shake Shack, Sweetgreen, Salon Republic and Studio Three Fitness. The developer, Stockdale Capital Partners, is expected to announce additional retail tenants in the coming weeks to complement its 2024 expected completion.

Additional mixed-use buildings are also popping up in Downtown San Diego, including WEST, a 37-story luxury apartment and office complex, which recently inked their first office tenant.

MARKET UPDATE

For the fifth straight month Downtown San Diego had a monthly visitor count above 3 million visitors. The employee count data shows nearly a 16% increase from this same time last year and a 74% increase from three years prior. Overall, it is the second highest employee count post-pandemic. In tracking the employee return, DSDP uses Placer.ai technology to estimate the average number of employees (office and retail) that visited their place of work in a particular month and compare with the same time in 2019/2020. Placer.ai technology tracks foot traffic through anonymized cell phone data and categorizes users in three categories – visitors, employees, and residents. As Downtown continues to move forward, access to real-time data is crucial. Click the button to read the full August report.
