San Diego CRE Companies

I'm currently looking for an internship for during the school year in San Diego and would appreciate any recommendations people have on companies in the region. I'm pursuing development in Los Angeles after college, but am open to any types of companies that could provide me with relevant experience.

I understand there are threads about it but am looking for updated information as those threads were years old. Thanks to all!

What exactly do you want to do in multifamily/ mixed use?

It sounds like you don't want to do brokerage (although I would advise you look into that. CBRE in SD seems very strong). It seems like some of the best internships are at the major brokerages because it gives you a springboard into CRE. As with most places, there are always local developers and small funds you can look into as well, although I would defer that to other SD people here.

PacNumber is a successful broker out in SD according to his posts/ comments.
