SAN DIEGO—Murphy Development is nearing build-out of its 2.1-million-square-foot Siempre Viva Business Park in Otay Mesa with the recent groundbreaking of the 121,970-square-foot Building 18. The development team includes architect Gene Cipparone, K&S Engineering and Lusardi Construction as the general contractor.

The concrete tilt-up Building 18, located at 2600 Melksee Street, will feature a 32-foot clear height, 8,000 amps of 277/480 volt power, manufacturing sewer and water capacity, concrete truck courts, wide column spacing and high dock door ratios designed for distribution users.

As soon as a lease is executed on Building 18, Murphy plans to start construction on the final class A industrial building at Siempre Viva, a 79,000-square-foot spec building at 8500 Kerns Street.
