The city of San Diego can go grow its downtown employee headcount and also considerably shrink its civic core office footprint — but it will need to provide ample parking to keep its workers happy, according to a new report prepared by a city real estate consultant.
San Diego can go from 2,870 downtown employees currently using 819,000 square feet of space to a future state where 3,060 employees use just 580,000 square feet of space, real estate consultant Jones Lang LaSalle has determined. Monday, city staff presented the finding to San Diego City Council members, some of whom were baffled by the conclusion. Two council members balked at the findings — albeit for opposite reasons. Another implied the research was a waste of money.
' Councilmember Joe LaCava expressed the opposite sentiment. 'I have to admit, I would have expected a little bit bigger shift when we're hearing that people are leaving San Diego because they can work from home office buildings are hurting because companies are downsizing in terms of their office space, even though their operations might be bigger.
