The Reawakening of Solana Beach

Robinson: “Coastal communities are primed for mixed-use projects. We would love to do another one like this in Carlsbad or Encinitas or Leucadia—it would work extremely well.”

SOLANA BEACH, CA—With RAF Pacifica Group‘s acquisition of the 40,000-square-foot former Cedros Gardens land parcel here and new retailers entering South Cedros St., the area is undergoing a revitalization it hasn’t seen in decades, the firm’s founder and principal Adam Robinson tells GlobeSt.com. The San Diego-based commercial real estate investor and developer acquired the parcel for a total consideration of $5.5 million from a private owner and plans to develop a 26,000-square-foot mixed-use project on the parcel integrating high-end restaurants, ground-floor retail, office and multifamily.
