BLT Enterprises Expands San Diego, CA Footprint; Acquires Industrial Building in North San Diego for $9 Million


Bernard Huberman
SAN DIEGO, CA (May 30, 2017) – BLT Enterprises has acquired a 60,000 square-foot industrial building in the North San Diego submarket of Carlsbad, California from El Cedro, LLC for $9 million. As part of the transaction, El Cedro leased-back the entire property for three years. 

This acquisition comes on the heels of BLT’s recent purchase of a 71,000 square-foot flex industrial building in Kearny Mesa, which brings the firm’s holdings in San Diego to more than 600,000 square feet, according to Bernard Huberman, Founder and President of BLT Enterprises.

“These recent acquisitions complement our current holdings in San Diego, which includes properties in Sorrento Mesa, Carlsbad and Kearny Mesa,” says Huberman. 

“We continue to focus on these core submarkets due to their low vacancy, high demand, and significant barriers to entry.  In fact, we are about to break ground on a state-of-the-art 63,000 square-foot industrial building in Kearny Mesa.”

 San Diego’s combined industrial/R&D ended the first quarter of 2017 at 4.9 percent according to a report by Colliers.

“We see an opportunity to make significant improvements to this property to drive tenant demand and capture competitive rental rates as the lease rolls,” says Huberman. “Until such time, the sale-leaseback structure allows us to enjoy stabilized cash flow as we plan the property upgrades.”
