SAN DIEGO (April 7, 2020) — Alphatec Spine, Inc. (ATEC), a provider of innovative spine surgery solutions, was represented by Savills in a major expansion and relocation of its corporate headquarters.

ATEC leased the entire 121,541-square-foot building located at 1950 Camino Vida Roble in the heart of the Carlsbad technology corridor. The two-story structure will house state-of-the-art research and development, lab and distribution facilities.

ATEC is redesigning and renovating the entire space to comprise a seven-station cadaveric lab; product display showcase; biomechanical testing facility; technology advancement group; and quality control, operations and administrative functions. The project will also include indoor and outdoor collaborative employee meeting zones. ATEC is expected to take occupancy of its new headquarters in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Patrick Miles, chairman and CEO of ATEC, said, “We are thrilled to create an environment that will allow our employees, surgeons and sales partners to continue our mission of revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery. This will ensure that ATEC continues to be the ‘Center for Innovation’ in spine, releasing the most advanced products to support surgical outcomes and cementing ATEC’s status as the industry’s standard bearer.”

Robert McGriff, Mike Labelle and Bridget Garwitz of Savills advised ATEC in the 10-year transaction. The team's services included lease negotiations and process, as well as workplace and occupant experience strategy. SCA Architecture, BYCOR and Next Level Project Management provided design, construction, and project and move management expertise.

“ATEC is expanding rapidly, and the relocation positions the company for the next stage of its growth,” said McGriff. “The new space will provide a multifunctional, energizing work environment that aligns with ATEC’s culture of collaboration and innovation.”

In addition to location and size, the significant outdoor amenities planned for the building attracted ATEC to the property. These include an amphitheater, sport courts, patios and gathering spaces, strategically designed to encourage interaction, productivity and the exchange of ideas.

The property’s owner, RAF Pacifica, was represented in the transaction by Aric Starck of Cushman & Wakefield.
