Kilroy Realty Acquires Premier Del Mar Office Campus

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Kilroy Realty Corporation KRC today said it has completed the purchase of a 13.8 acre Class A office campus in the premier, coastal Del Mar sub-market of San Diego for approximately $126 million. The campus, known as The Heights, includes a three-story office building, a three-story life science building, which together total approximately 219,000 square feet and a subterranean parking structure. Additionally, the campus includes a land site that is fully entitled for a state-of-the-art 90,000-square-foot office building to be LEED certified.

The two existing buildings, both LEED Silver certified and built in 2004 with steel frame construction, are 100% leased to five tenants, including Neurocrine Bioscience NBIX and Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, one of the nation's largest intellectual property law firms. The campus features amenities that attract knowledge-based tenants, including ample parking, a sports court and on-site fitness center, abundant outdoor common and gathering areas as well as an amphitheater.

In its own right, The Heights is a highly attractive, well-located and scalable campus and is also immediately adjacent to KRC's future development project One Paseo. The company expects to garner significant synergies from owning and operating both projects.

“The Heights encompasses all the characteristics we seek in an acquisition,” said John Kilroy, Jr., the company's chairman, president and chief executive officer. “It has a strong initial cash return in the mid 6% range, high-quality tenants, strong submarket fundamentals, adjacency to transportation as well as a wide range of retail amenities and the upside potential of additional development. Together, both The Heights and One Paseo will complete our vision of developing a remarkable, urban, mixed-use, live, work and play environment in one of the best and consistently highest demand coastal submarkets of San Diego.”
