Reno Contracting to Build 290,000SF of Tenant Improvements for Bridgepoint
May 29, 2008

Bridgepoint Education has tapped Reno Contracting to facilitate 290,000 square feet of tenant improvements at the class A Sabre Springs office campus where the education company signed leases for the space with property owner Kilroy Realty Corp. in February. Reno's work will involve the building at 13480 Evening Creek Drive in San Diego, Calif., which Bridgepoint will occupy in its entirety upon completion of construction, and the building at 13500 Evening Creek Dr. where the company will be the lead tenant with 96 percent of the space. The theme is green for Sabre Springs--Kilroy is seeking LEED certification for the project--and Reno has more than a little experience in environmentally friendly tenant improvement.
