“The property is a solid income-producing investment in the heart of the Gaslamp with the potential for repositioning to a more intensive use over the long term,” Klein said. “Buca di Beppo has been a part of the downtown landscape at this location since 1999. With the area evolving into a 24/7 live, work and play environment, this property is well positioned to benefit from steadily increasing consumer demand.”
