SMS Biotech

SMS Biotech had expanded its manufacturing and needed a new Carlsbad headquarters, complicated by the need for laboratory space to support its GMP operations. We analyzed more than 20 office and flex alternatives and negotiated three properties at once, landing a turnkey headquarters at a lease rate 30% below market, with concessions including rental abatement and building signage that exceeded prior market levels.

Motion Industries

The ideal building for Motion Industries was a single 60,000 SF box, roughly twice what they needed, and no tenant in the market was prepared to absorb the whole thing at once. Drawing on deep market knowledge and long-standing industry relationships, we engineered how to demise it into two functional halves, then negotiated a new 10-year lease on a purpose-built 31,293 SF premises, giving Motion a facility scaled precisely to its operation and positioned for a decade of growth.

Ahern Agribusiness

After 25+ years in an Otay Mesa warehouse, agribusiness leader Ahern needed a corporate headquarters that matched its stature and shortened a long commute for its principals. Against their exacting standard of finish, we surveyed 20+ properties across north-central San Diego and landed a ground-floor Sorrento Mesa headquarters with the image, amenities, and access they wanted, while also handling the disposition of their prior facility.

What Clients Value

Tenant representation is strongest when strategy, responsiveness, and market knowledge work together.

Voit was engaged to assist us in identifying and securing a new corporate headquarters in the Carlsbad area. The team diligently pursued options and negotiated two separate transactions, orchestrating competitive negotiations between two different landlords to secure extremely aggressive terms. They went over and above normal brokerage by following up after lease signing to make certain the landlord met or exceeded expectations. We received a below market rate, turnkey TIs, and extensive concessions that included building signage on both alternatives negotiated. We were frankly surprised at the expertise and diligent efforts that the Voit team exhibited in this transaction.
SMS Biotech
The Voit team’s market knowledge and deep relationships made all the difference in our search. They brought us directly to 13790 Stowe Drive, a property that had been struggling on the market, and expertly structured a deal that gave us a perfect long term home. Their representation was top tier from start to finish.
Regional Director, Motion Industries
The Voit team worked diligently to meet all of our physical and locational requirements, which were very particular in nature. They did an exceptional job coordinating the property search, identification, negotiation, and ultimately the tenant improvements required prior to occupancy. They also assisted us with the disposition of our prior facilities in Otay Mesa, going out of their way to eliminate that financial burden. To this day, they continue to follow up on our occupancy and offer assistance with anything else we may need. Their follow-up is incredible and greatly appreciated.
