Brixton Capital, a vertically integrated owner and operator of retail and multifamily properties, has secured a lease with La La Land Café to occupy the iconic mezzanine terrace and café space at its upscale Del Mar Plaza retail destination.
An Instagrammable Location
La La Land will occupy the highly visible, southwest corner mezzanine space at the Plaza, which offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Between the views, the Plaza’s elevated architectural design and La La Land’s signature branding, drinks and merchandise, it’s sure to be an Instagrammable partnership.
La La Land is known for its happy, white-and-yellow color palette and its mission to bring more warmth and kindness into the world. The fast-growing brand has generated millions of followers online.
“La La Land is incredibly successful at creating shared spaces that encourage human connections, and that’s exactly our guiding light for Del Mar Plaza, too,” said Brixton Capital President and Chief Investment Officer Rob Taylor. “We continue to attract fresh, exciting brands at the Plaza to best serve the community and stay at the leading edge of retail placemaking.”
The Deal
La La Land will occupy 1,168 square feet of interior space, with additional sitting and queueing space extending onto the terrace deck. The construction start and grand opening dates are not yet determined.
The space was formerly occupied by Pacifica Breeze Café.
“We’re proud to be first-to-market attracting a dynamic brand that has grown to over 30 locations since its founding in 2019,” said Brixton Capital Founder and Chairman Marc Brutten. “We expect the grand opening will be very well attended, and that La La Land Café at Del Mar Plaza will remain a very popular social destination.”
La La Land’s decision to select Del Mar Plaza for its first San Diego location is a powerful validation of the property’s ongoing transformation.
Victoria Pappas, Brittney Austin and Linda Rubiola of SHOP Companies represented La La Land in the lease deal, while Brixton Capital represented itself, with support from Andrew Shemirani and Ashley Tiefel at Urban Property Group. Lease terms are not disclosed.
Del Mar Plaza is located at 1555 Camino Del Mar in the upscale, seaside city of Del Mar. It’s part of Brixton’s fast-growing, national retail portfolio.
