SAN DIEGO—Resurgence and growth among startups in the biotech, manufacturing and tech fields in North County have led to a sharp rise in demand for build-to-suit projects, RAF Pacifica Group Inc.'s founder Adam Robinson tells GlobeSt.com. The Encinitas, CA-based firm will be developing a brand-new 83,000-square-foot build-to-suit distribution facility in Carlsbad, CA, for San Diego Hat Co. at Lot 7, Whiptail Loop E.
The class-A industrial facility will be situated on a roughly 7.57-acre parcel that the manufacturer recently acquired from Hughes Whiptail LLC for $5.9 million. RAF Pacifica assigned the land-ownership rights over to San Diego Hat Co. during its own initial escrow process and has designed the new building.
Aric Starck of Cushman & Wakefield's Carlsbad office represents RAF Pacifica in all real estate negotiations affiliated with this site. San Diego Hat Co. is represented by brokers Rich Porreco and Glenn Friedrich of Cresa.
