Torrey View by Breakthrough Opens in San Diego

Breakthrough Properties celebrated the opening of a 510,000-sf life sciences campus in San Diego in October of 2024. Designed by Flad Architects, Torrey View by Breakthrough offers state-of-the-art wet labs for the development of novel therapies and technologies, as well as flexible workspaces and collaboration areas. An iconic tessellated envelope allows interior floor plates to be infused with natural light, maximizing occupant wellness and energy efficiency without compromising performance. A 25,000-sf hub with curated amenities provides a 400-person conference venue, a lounge, multiple dining options, and a sophisticated fitness suite. Certified LEED Gold, the sustainable complex features an expansive green plaza situated atop a partially sub-grade parking garage.

Pfizer is leasing 230,000 sf of Class A research space spanning two buildings for a period of 15 years, and a third structure houses a 220,000-sf biosciences center for BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company). Charles River Laboratories, Actio Biosciences, and Architect Therapeutics have also established a presence at the campus.

The project team included Clark Construction, Coffman Engineers, Michael Baker International, Heintges Consulting Architects & Engineers, A.O. Reed & Co., and tk1sc, now part of WSP. JLL served as leasing agent, and Bionic Landscape, Luma Lighting Design, Vision Systems, and Clark Pacific all contributed their expertise to the creation of Torrey View.

Breakthrough Properties represents a joint venture of developer Tishman Speyer and Bellco Capital.
