Stos Partners acquired the property in May 2021 for $8.77 million.  Led by Principal and Founder CJ Stos, Partner Jason Richards, Executive Vice President Jay Boyle and Vice President of Asset Management Travis Gorzeman, the company implemented its value-add strategy and capital improvement program which included a new roof, parking lot, exterior painting, drought resistant landscaping and signage.

“The North County San Diego industrial market has seen great demand for specialized manufacturing assets because of its growth in the life science, technology and communications,” says CJ Stos, Principal at Stos Partners. 

Jason Richards
“Our team identified this asset’s value during the initial acquisition in 2021. Through deep relationships with local brokers, we were able to secure a buyer in a timely manner.”

“The North County San Diego industrial market is comprised of 54 million square feet with strong vacancy of 2.2 percent,” said Richards.  “In 2022, we saw over 2.2 million square feet of leasing activity in the market.”

The property is ideally located near the California 78 Freeway, providing convenient access to neighboring communities.  It is also less than one mile from North County San Diego’s largest development, North City, which consists of 200 acres of mixed-use commercial space.
