SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – JLL announced today that Civilian, a full-service marketing communications agency and Certified B Corporation dedicated to strengthening communities and inspiring meaningful change, has relocated its 30+ professionals into its new headquarters space at Twenty by Six, a 90,000-square-foot office and retail complex located at 451 A Street in Downtown San Diego, California. The firm’s headquarters was previously located in Liberty Station.
JLL’s Scott Schindler and Nicole Winter represented the Civilian in the lease. The landlord, LeBeau Realty & Associates, was represented by Derek Hulse and Morgan Reno of Cushman and Wakefield.
“We wanted a space that supported our vision of teamwork, openness, and transparency,” Stacey Nelson Smith, Civilian founder and chief executive officer. “Our ground-floor space supports creativity with an open floor plan. The floor to ceiling sliding walls give us access to the outdoors, and plenty of indoor and outdoor meeting space for brainstorming, team building, and hosting our clients.”
Nelson Smith continued by saying “As a B Corporation we were for looking for office space that shared our sustainability goals and was LEED Certified. We also wanted to support our team’s love of outside and active and Twenty by Six delivered with firepits, private deck space, and a brand-new gym right across the hall from the office.
“While the downtown San Diego office leasing market was slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were grateful for the opportunity to help forward-thinking firms like Civilian take advantage of premier space at favorable terms,” said Scott Schindler, JLL Vice President. “In this new office environment, companies want an inviting building with outdoor space where their employees feel safe and healthy, and Civilian has accomplished this with their new downtown headquarters.”
