COSTA MESA, CA – For GlobeSt.com's 2019 ADAPT awards, we took a closer look at projects throughout the nation. We are pleased to recognize 3420 Bristol in Costa Mesa, CA as the winner for the most strategic redesign of a commercial property within the overall transformation category. The project was honored at our awards ceremony in Baltimore on September 16^th. 3420 Bristol, the site for the California Bank & Trust Building in Costa Mesa, CA, is situated in one of the busiest retail and business districts in Orange County, as a part of the South Coast Plaza Campus. Originally developed in 1962, the seven-story, 66,835-square-foot office building was conceived by the iconic, mid-century architect William Pereira in 1977. The building, located on the corner of Bristol Street and Sunflower Avenue, is managed by Cushman & Wakefield's Asset Services Group. 3420 Bristol's leasing team of Cushman & Wakefield Executive Vice Chairman, Rick Kaplan, Executive Director, Robert Lambert and Director, Brian K. Booth all played a critical role in transforming the property. The leasing team and South Coast Plaza, worked alongside the renowned architecture firm, Shubin Donaldson, to carry out redesign efforts for the mixed-use building. In order to meet the demands of present-day tenants and guests, the building required extensive renovations, which took place over the course of 2018. The teams worked to transform the property into a lively, contemporary destination, providing new amenities such as an outdoor patio space, updated landscaping, a fully-refurbished main lobby, and ground floor retail space, along with a complete outer-shell makeover. The leasing team procured two vital tenants for its retail space: Philz Coffee, a Bay Area-based coffee shop, and Outpost Kitchen, a local organic eatery. Both retailers secured leases to grow their local presence with new locations. The team also landed TechSpace as a key office space tenant, which currently occupies two full floors as a shared workspace and coworking provider. All tenants have credited the recent design changes and communal atmosphere as a significant factor in choosing 3420 Bristol. As one of Orange County's highest profile properties, 3420 Bristol is helping set the tone for the local market's ongoing transformation; a result from Kaplan, Lambert and Booth's work to drive the evolution of the region.
