Medical technology company BD Bioscience has signed a lease for the largest building at Breakthrough Properties' Torrey View by Breakthrough, a 10-acre life science development from in San Diego. BD Biosciences will occupy a 220,000-square-foot space representing 40% of the total property.
Breakthrough Properties acquired the site in October 2020 in partnership with Tishman Speyer and Bellco Capital, and is building the development to LEED Gold standards. The project is located in the Del Mar Heights life sciences cluster and adjacent to biopharma workforce housing.
BD currently has a presence in San Diego with 4,000 employees, and this new lease illustrates the firm's commitment to the market, which VP and general manager Steve Conly said was due to "the area's vibrant business community and depth and breadth of talent" in a statement. Susie Harborth, EVP of operations at Breakthrough Properties, called BD "the type of dynamic and fast-growing firm" Breakthrough envisioned would occupy the property.
