Commercial Projects
Lankford&Associates has a breadth of commercial experience, ranging from catalytic downtown office high-rises, including Advanced Equities Plaza, Esquire Plaza and 1201 K Street, to regionally significant commercial office parks, including Scripps Northridge Corporate Center and the Prospect Green Office Park. Central to our success with commercial projects is a strong combination of location, market analysis and intuition. Timing is critical. Another key component is unwavering commitment to to quality, creativity, and execution mixed with sensible flexibility. Complex commercial projects, whether due to size and scale or public/private partnerships, require perseverance.
Advanced Equities Plaza is a great example of this. Two years into the financing, leasing, design, land assembly and entitlement process, 9/11 occurred and caused a dramatic market decline. Lankford remained steadfastly committed to what would be the first Class A Office building high-rise to be built in Downtown San Diego in fifteen years. To ensure that the project was built, Lankford slightly adjusted the design and total square footage to respond to financing requirements and market conditions, and successfully completed construction in 2005.
All of these factors help to define Lankford&Associates’ successful execution of over $850 Million of value and 3 million square feet of Class A Office space since 1984.
