 Both properties have easy access to major freeways, including the I-5, I-805, I-15 and I-8, among others.

 San Diego is considered one of the top three life science markets in the country and the immediate area surrounding the properties is home to numerous life science companies, including Nuvasive, Thermo Fisher, BD & Co and Inovio Pharmaceuticals.
