WynneCRE has been working with the landlord of the former Krikorian Theater in San Clemente, looking for the right business to bring fun to town … fun is coming soon!
We are excited to announce that the space has been leased to The Bowl, which is about to transform the former theater into an awesome upscale bowling alley, to feature live music, sports simulators, delicious food, and a hidden speakeasy for adults!
We’ll see you there in 2026!
The Bowl is coming soon to San Clemente!
Bluewave Technology Group—a leading national technology advisory firm headquartered here in San Clemente, announced its acquisition of Florida-based TruPoint Technology Solutions. The move marks a major step forward in Bluewave’s national expansion, strengthening its capabilities in unified communications, contact center tech, and managed services.
While this is big news for the technology world, it also raises an important question: What happens when a company’s service footprint grows faster than its physical footprint?
Mergers and acquisitions like this one often spark new or evolving real estate needs—especially in dynamic markets like South Orange County. Whether it's expanding into additional square footage, consolidating locations, upgrading facilities, or simply reassessing a lease, growth at the top often requires change on the ground.
As a commercial real estate broker specializing in industrial and flex properties in South Orange County, I keep a close eye on local companies. With 25+ years of experience and boots-on-the-ground knowledge of commercial property in San Clemente, Lake Forest, and surrounding cities, I’m here to help businesses navigate what’s next—whether that’s a move, a lease strategy, or an investment.
Is your company preparing for growth, consolidation, or restructuring? Let’s talk before the space becomes a constraint. I’m happy to provide guidance with no pressure and no obligation.

By Arrow Santos
Recently, the building owner of Historic City Hall (101 S El Camino Real) reached out to us to aid in his search for new uses for his iconic property. He had correctly heard that quixotic contrivances were our business specialty within the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce, and we readily welcomed his enlistment for this endeavor.
Located on arguably one of the best business lots in downtown San Clemente, Historic City Hall commands a view down Del Mar, with the sightline stretching beyond to the ocean and horizon. Unlike its exhilarating position at the top of town, not much excitement has made its way from the exterior to the interior in many moons. Also, what’s up with everyone saying this location never was city hall historically anyway!?...…continue reading

Of the “7 Wonders of the Ancient World,” only one remains today: the Great Pyramid of Giza. The other six have been lost to history, with the occasional rubble heap left behind.
To be fair, the Great Pyramid started as a stone pile and has dutifully remained as such ever since. The rest of those once irreplaceable locations are essentially of no relevance today.
Recently, San Clemente’s very own “Wonder” of the not-so-ancient world, Casa Romantica, nearly turned into a pile of stones.
Coastal cliffside instability under the Casa led to two major landslides in recent months, causing significant damage to the estate, disruption to railroad service on the tracks below, and uncertainty about the future of this nationally registered historic site...…continue reading
