San Diego's CRE market is distinguished by its concentration of life sciences and defense sector tenants, with the Torrey Pines/UTC corridor housing one of the nation's densest biotech clusters alongside major institutions like Scripps Research, Salk Institute, and UC San Diego. The Sorrento Valley and Kearny Mesa submarkets serve as the region's primary life sciences and tech office nodes, while the Otay Mesa border crossing area supports cross-border logistics and manufacturing operations with Tijuana. Downtown San Diego's East Village and Little Italy neighborhoods have densified with mixed-use and multifamily projects. The Carlsbad and Oceanside coastal submarkets attract lifestyle-oriented office tenants and have seen growing interest from defense technology firms.
