Newmark, as exclusive advisor, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire 7578 El Cajon Blvd (the "Property"), a landmark three-story office building situated on a highly visible corner lot in the heart of La Mesa, California. Totaling approximately ±22,500 square feet on ±0.84 acres, the Property represents one of the most distinctive office assets in the East County submarket, originally purpose-built as the corporate headquarters for a national financial services firm and constructed with a level of craftsmanship rarely found in today's marketplace.
This offering presents multiple compelling and flexible acquisition paths tailored to a broad range of qualified purchasers:
Prospective owner-users may acquire the Property in its entirety for full occupancy, with the ability to leverage SBA financing and as little as a 10% down payment, making this an exceptional opportunity to own an institutional-quality headquarters building at a cost highly competitive with prevailing market lease rates. Helix Environmental Planning, the current occupant, would vacate upon close of escrow, delivering the building fully available to a new owner.
Helix Environmental has expressed interest in leasing back approximately 70% of the building (±15,750 SF) at ±$2.50/SF/month gross on a long-term basis of 7 or 10 years, providing an incoming owner-user with immediate, stabilized cash flow on the majority of the building while occupying the remaining ±6,750 SF for their own operations. This structure allows a new owner to acquire the asset at owner-user pricing while benefiting from a creditworthy, long-duration tenant from day one.
The Property's private-office-intensive layout, elevator service, above-average parking ratio, and proximity to Grossmont Hospital and the broader East County medical corridor make this an outstanding candidate for a healthcare, medical office, or specialty professional services user. The Helix leaseback option provides income stability during any phased build-out or transition period, offering a uniquely low-risk entry point for a medical operator or healthcare-related organization looking to establish or expand an East County presence.
