Downtown San Diego is the place to watch, and the Downtown San Diego Partnership is making it easier than ever for investors and potential tenants to learn more about the area's bright economic future. The Partnership recently launched the Downtown Innovation Center, a modern and digital take on the scale model of the submarket that used to reside in the Downtown Visitor Center.

Chanelle Hawken, Downtown San Diego Partnership Board Chair, explained that the center is the first of its kind, specifically focused on attracting and retaining investment in the urban core. Using the Liquid Galaxy platform, visitors to the center can explore exciting projects under development and redevelopment, Downtown’s labor pool and demographic data, available office space, tenant mix, and any other critical information for businesses or organizations’ success.

According to Betsy Brennan, President and CEO of Downtown San Diego Partnership, Downtown San Diego has a bright future with two to three million more square feet of creative office space coming to the market and an ever-growing talent pool. The Downtown Innovation Center showcases that story to the world, turning the market's bright future into a compelling, data-driven narrative about why Downtown San Diego is the can’t-miss market in the San Diego region.

San Diego City Councilmembers Stephen Whitburn and Raul Campillo have praised the new center for helping to attract new businesses and jobs to the city, while CBRE's Executive Vice President, Matt Carlson, noted that the technology behind the Downtown Innovation Center is a game-changer for telling compelling stories to target markets. The San Diego Regional EDC's President & CEO, Mark Cafferty, added that the center will help enhance how the region's innovation story is told on a global scale.

The Downtown Innovation Center is more than just a tool for showcasing San Diego's potential, however. It provides an unparalleled view of the market to the business community at large and aims to introduce Downtown San Diego as the right choice location for future growth and opportunity in the San Diego region. Visitors to the center will experience first-hand the powerful narrative the Downtown Innovation Center can tell and how it will help shape the future of Downtown.
