At the core of
life sciences innovation
Pacific Center is a brand-new complex in Sorrento Mesa, the premier life sciences hub of San Diego. As one of the city’s only life science campuses with a curated amenity program, showcasing hospitality driven tenant spaces with a chef driven food and beverage program along with a state of the art fitness center, it’s purpose-built to enhance the tenant experience and meet the industry’s evolving needs. The space will inspire scientists, catalyzing the next generation of discovery.

IN THE NUCLEUS
OF DISCOVERY
With architecture inspired by the stratification found in the local landscape, Pacific Center is composed of two separate campuses—Pacific Ridge to the north and Pacific Mesa to the south. Construction for Phase 1 of Pacific Mesa is currently underway for late 2024 tenant occupancy, including two lab buildings totaling 510K SF, a 29K SF amenity center, and a parking structure giving a 2.5+ parking ratio. Each lab building will combine ultramodern research spaces with best in class creative office design and amenities.
