A distinctive new headquarters was built for La Jolla Group, an owner of surf and apparel brands with a clear and creative vision for their space.

From lease negotiations through move-in, the project faced significant challenges, including ongoing disputes between the tenant and landlord, as well as alignment issues between ownership and the architect. Drawing on decades of experience with the landlord, DBaC, Inc. played a critical role in bridging communication gaps and keeping the project focused on outcomes rather than conflict.

Through consistent communication and around-the-clock supervision, the team successfully separated ego-driven tensions from process-driven solutions. The result was a headquarters that fully reflected La Jolla Group’s brand identity—delivered with excellence and ultimately helping bring resolution to the landlord dispute.

“Now that some time has passed, we see we put DBaC in a tough position, making it nearly impossible for them to succeed—yet they not only succeeded, they excelled. We love our space and would use DBaC whenever we possibly could.”
