Designs On North County:
Mercedes-Benz has purchased a Carlsbad property where it plans to relocate its Irvine advanced design studio in July.

The site at 2250 Rutherford Road was occupied by Chrysler LLC before the company closed its Pacifica Advanced Design Center in mid-March.

Mercedes also has design studios in Germany, Japan and Italy.

The automaker, a division of DaimlerChrysler, did not disclose the price it paid for the Carlsbad property, but the listing price was $7.3 million.

The 13,000-square-foot Irvine facility, Mercedes’ first in the U.S., opened in 1990. The Carlsbad location is twice the size of the Irvine facility.
