Urban Street Advisors, a retail real estate company specializing in urban shopping and entertainment projects, has announced that House of Blues Entertainment has signed a 10-year lease to occupy the ground-floor and lower levels of the existing four-story building on Fifth Street between Broadway and C streets.

"The House of Blues brand appeals to consumers as a brand with a high-quality live music experience," says Linda Crowley, president of Urban Street Advisors. "This vibrant tenant will bring another great addition to the entertainment/restaurant offering of Downtown San Diego."

Music Village LLC, the owner of the property, plans to add additional retail and new residential lofts as part of the 150,000-sf mixed-use project. Groundbreaking is expected to occur this month, with House of Blues opening in August of next year.
