San Diego Office, Office/Retail for Lease - Downtown
The Ratner is a revitalized historic creative office building in San Diego’s East Village, ideally located in the heart of the I.D.E.A. District. Formerly known as The Art Center, the building has been thoughtfully renovated and rebranded, blending legacy with modern design.
Named for the Ratner family—who operated a successful men’s clothing business here from the 1920s to 1989—the building now draws digital media agencies, production companies, and tech firms seeking a stylish, L.A.-inspired urban vibe.
Expansive windows and lofty ceilings fill the space with natural light, creating an ideal setting for creatives and makers. With industrial-chic finishes, unique amenities, and a strong sense of community, The Ratner supports collaboration across industries like architecture, marketing, film, and visual arts.
The building offers 144,000 SF of commercial space with suites up to 10,000 SF, making it a flexible home for companies looking to amplify creativity and embrace the East Village’s live–work–play lifestyle.
East Village Green, located directly across the street, spans a full 60,000 SF city block bordered by 13th, F, 14th, and G Streets, with two additional parcels: a 20,000 SF site at the northeast corner of 14th and G, and a 10,000 SF site along F Street between 14th and 15th. The latter will serve as the new home for two relocated historic buildings, thoughtfully integrated into the park’s design.
