Watkins Landmark's Office is as Unique as the Company Itself

Late last summer, during a time where every other company was reducing in size, we found ourselves in a position where we had outgrown our office on Carmel Valley Road. In looking for a new office, we not only wanted to expand our office space but move into a building that made and impact on visiting clients, consultants and subcontractors. Furthermore, we wanted a building that reflected the personality of our company. After reviewing several office spaces around Del Mar and Solana Beach, we had not found a space that truly felt like our home. By coincidence and a little luck, we found out that a space was opening in the Batter Kay building on San Dieguito Drive in Del Mar. The building is rather hidden, tucked against a hill in Del Mar and the lagoon by the Racetrack. It was designed by Batter Kay Architecture who also have offices in the building.
Since we have moved into this new building, we have received several positive comments from our clients, consultants and subcontractors. The first impression of our space is that it is open and comfortable. The second comments usually are about the views from our office. As you can see from the picture above, we are on the flood plain just a few feet from the lagoon.
Birthday Party for Kristian Burchat, Project Superintendent
Our employees have not only found it a very productive place to work, but also a very comfortable place to socialize. As a small company, we like to celebrate our employees birthdays as well company successes. After a significant project award, we will usually have a happy hour and congratulate our estimating department as well as discuss the challenges facing us on our new project.

So if you missed our 5th Anniversary Party last October, please feel free to stop by anytime. We are on San Dieguito Drive just south of Jimmy Durante Blvd by Del Mar Racetrack. We would love any opportunity to show off our office.
