Top Locations to Rent Office Space in San Diego, CA

There is no one-size-fits-all answer as to what the best office space for rent location is in San Diego. The best neighborhood or submarket match for you will depend on what are the most relevant factors to your business and your employees. You will most likely need to consider what works best for the type of business you need space for, the size of your company, the employee demographics, and of course the company budget.

However, a good starting point for finding your best options is to look at the areas where there is a high concentration of office property listings. These areas are typically well-connected to a range of access routes and are also home to a variety of amenities that serve the convenience of both workers and visitors. In San Diego, the greatest concentration of office for rent opportunities is in West San Diego.

For your consideration, the average rent for office space in West San Diego is $35.98 per square foot, but you should expect some price variation across the market, depending on factors like location and property class. For example, the asking rents in West San Diego average $44.38 for class A space, but is $35.7, on average, for class B listings, and $44.38 for class C.

Key Factors to Consider when Choosing an Office Space for Rent in San Diego, CA

The quality of an office property can be judged based on subjective factors such as the prospective tenant’s preferred architecture style, the overall design of the surrounding area, as well as the amount and/or diversity of amenities available within a convenient distance.

Some quality factors, however, are considered to be mostly objective, and have been somewhat standardized as top things to consider when looking for a specific quality of space for your business. These include construction grade and building quality ratings, sustainability certifications, the total age or the property, as well as any renovation work that was done.

A local breakdown by property class shows that about 49.77% of total office space listings in San Diego are in properties rated class A. An additional 2.83% of total represents trophy class or class A+ space. Class B space makes up 45.41% of total space available in San Diego. Class C space listed for rent locally accounts for 1.9% of total opportunities on the local leasing market.

If considering quality space by property age, the San Diego market is also a mixed bag in this respect. About 63.88% of local office properties were completed before the year 2000. Office space delivered in and since the year 2000 makes up 36.03% of the local market and adds up to a total of 14,174,916 square feet.

However, a certain age of completion of the original structure does not necessarily mean that a property is too old. Older properties are often considered to have excellent bones and are good subjects for adaptive reuse redevelopment or extensive renovation to modernize the interior space. With that in mind, you should consider that roughly 2.32% of all office properties here are buildings that have been renovated at least once since 2000.
