Plaza History
In 1986, Seagate identified Montecito Plaza, a retail center in disrepair and saw a unique value-added opportunity. Substantial deferred maintenance, passive management, high vacancy and poor market position resulted in a unique opportunity for Seagate to renovate the physical structure and reposition and re-tenant the property.
Retail sales increases exceeded 400% and the project has enjoyed continued high occupancy ever since.
