Del Mar Highlands

Dempsey Construction was engaged by Donahue Schriber to convert an un-used portion of a multi-tenant building into leasable retail space.

The subject building was located within the high-profile Del Mar Highlands Shopping Center, anchored by Ralphs and Cineopolis. Tenant demand and market rents are a premium within the shopping center. Converting non-leasable space into income generating space was the key objective.

The scope of the project consisted of:

• Opening up the existing tower element.
• Erecting new structural components.
• Bringing all utilities to the premises.
• Building a false floor to accommodate the existing sloped slab.
• Installation of fire life safety system.
• Drop T-bar ceiling.
• HVAC service and distribution and installation of storefront systems.

The project took place within an open and operating shopping center, without disruption to adjacent tenants.
