“This provided us with immediate cashflow as we implemented our strategic renovation plan to upgrade the asset, which included new landscaping, fresh paint, and modern interior office imporvements.”

 Stos notes that the firm ultimately secured a national credit tenant, Sierra Wireless, to occupy the remaining 4,700 square feet of ground-floor office space, despite COVID-19’s impacts on the sector.

According to Jason RichardsPartner at Stos Partners, expertise in carrying out strategic and cost-effective capital improvements allowed the firm to deliver competitive office space to the market.

 “Once the pandemic hit, our team immediately improved the vacant office portion,” explains Richards. “We were able to offer the lowest cost in Carlsbad for space of that caliber, which ultimately attracted interest from several potential tenants, even with more than 90 available spaces on the market in that size range.”
