Nielsen Dillingham Builders Working on New Labs at Cal Poly Pomona
Florham Park, N.J.-based Gale & Wentworth has started the second phase of construction of two buildings for two separate headquarters and R & D; facilities totaling 150,000 square feet for both buildings at the Carlsbad Corporate Center.
The new buildings will include fiber-optic service availability, dock-high truck doors and 24-foot height clearance.
“The two new facilities offer excellent exposure and access as well as the amenities that tenants are seeking in the marketplace,” said Patrick Murphy, managing partner of Gale & Wentworth California.
The 560-acre Carlsbad Corporate Center already houses corporate headquarters of Callaway Golf Co., Isis Pharmaceuticals, Taylor Made-adidas Golf, Ashworth Inc., and Upper Deck Co.
KMA Architecture and Engineering is the project’s architects and Keeton Construction of Temecula is the general contractor. Coldwell Banker Commercial is the leasing agent for the corporate center.

The $20 million, 117,900-square-foot project consists of the construction of a two-story building with engineering labs, classrooms and offices.
The campus will remain operational during the construction period. The new two-story building will be completed this summer and the overall project is scheduled for fall of 2002 completion.
Additional work on the project involves tenant improvements, demolition of a building, asbestos removal and installation of new mechanical and electrical systems.
