San Diego — The Bendetti Co., a commercial real estate firm headquartered in Irvine, has expanded its footprint into San Diego by acquiring a 72,158-square-foot industrial building for $16.2 million. This marks the company’s first acquisition in the San Diego market.
The property is situated at 9605 Airway Road in the Otay Mesa area of San Diego and was previously owned by TA Realty of Newport Beach. TA Realty purchased the facility from Lainer Development Co. for $14.3 million in 2021, indicating a substantial appreciation in value since its last sale.
Jon Moyer, designated as Bendetti’s Director of Acquisitions, highlighted San Diego’s strong economic fundamentals and growth potential specifically for multi-tenant industrial properties. The newly acquired property spans over 3.9 acres and includes four light industrial units, which range in size from 16,023 to 20,056 square feet. Currently, at least two of the units are occupied by logistics companies, including Baja USA Logistics Group and C&J Brokers, which underscores the demand for industrial space in the region.
The facility is equipped with 14 dock-high doors and four drive-in doors, making it attractive for businesses needing efficient transportation logistics. Recent exterior renovations have been made to enhance the property, featuring fresh paint and improved landscaping.
Bendetti Co. engaged a team led by Bryce Aberg, vice chair at Cushman & Wakefield, to represent them in this transaction. This acquisition is part of Bendetti’s broader strategy to establish a significant presence in markets across the United States. Founded in 1964, Bendetti has managed an extensive portfolio, boasting around 4 million square feet of properties across California, Colorado, Nevada, Texas, and Utah.
The strategic location of the building is particularly beneficial, as it aligns with current market demands from industrial users in San Diego. The Otay Mesa area is known for its logistical advantages and is rapidly developing as a hub for transport and distribution businesses.
As industrial real estate continues to see strong demand, especially in regions poised for growth like San Diego, Bendetti Co. appears well-positioned to capitalize on these trends with its latest acquisition. The company’s commitment to expanding its industrial space portfolio reflects its confidence in the region’s economic trajectory and the increasing need for versatile and well-located industrial properties.
