Rancho Vista Corporate Center

Design firm Ware Malcomb has completed construction on the redevelopment of the Rancho Vista Corporate Center in San Diego. The firm provided architecture, interior design and branding services for the project. Level 10 Construction served as the general contractor for the project, which was developed by Swift Real Estate Partners. 

Located at 16399 W. Bernardo Drive, the corporate campus features Class A office and research & development buildings totaling 838,300 square feet. Situated on 67.5 acres, the goal for the redevelopment was to create a site and brand identity, with a design that emphasized energy efficiency, utilizing xeriscaping to minimize water use and offer shaded areas for use of other on-site amenities. Renovations included updates to the exteriors, with new landscape and hardscape throughout the property, as well as a remodeled conference center, a 15,600-square-foot cafe with a glass wall system, outdoor collaboration areas, a courtyard, a new indoor workout facility with basketball and volleyball courts and an outdoor dining area with a stretched fabric canopy. 

“The reimagined Rancho Vista Corporate Center is an elevated atmosphere for tenants and visitors alike. Connecting the indoor and outdoor environments through a multitude of amenities and collaboration areas created a flexible campus with long-term real estate value,” Tiffany English, principal of Ware Malcomb’s San Diego offices, told Commercial Property Executive.

In May, Ware Malcomb was tapped to provide architectural services for a 112,505-square-foot building in Rolling Meadows, Ill. Krusinski Construction Co. broke ground on the facility that was developed to serve as School Health Corp.’s new office location.
