Kilroy Buys Downtown City Block for MXD

The 52,500-square-foot site comprises three separate parcels that have been owned by three private families since the early 1920s.

SAN DIEGO—Downtown San Diego continues its transformation with Kilroy Realty‘s purchase of a full city block at 2100-2174 Kettner Blvd. and 946 W. Hawthorn St. in Little Italy for $19.4 million. The developer is planning a class-A, 172,000-square-foot office-and-retail building at the site—the first new office building to be developed in this neighborhood in over 20 years.

The 52,500-square-foot site comprises three separate parcels that have been owned by three private families since the early 1920s. Colliers International San Diego Region‘s Victor Krebs and Mark Lewkowitz handled the transaction on behalf of the sellers and Kilroy and worked with the three property owners to market the parcels for sale together.
