Harbor Point, the newly-constructed 24,000-square-foot mixed-use office building at 5055 North Harbor Drive, is now open and beginning to fill with tenants. The structure, which boasts a dearth of amenities and public artwork — including a mural illustrating the spirit and history of Point Loma — had a formal community opening Oct. 30. “Our first tenant is Rochelle Perper, a psychologist,” said Doug Arthur of Sentre Partners, the company that managed construction of the building and which will now act as Harbor Point’s asset management company. As the tenant list begins to grow, Perper is settling into her new digs. She leases a 1,000-square-foot, three-office suite. “I was looking for a building that had an intimate feel,” Perper said. She chose Harbor point, she said, because the location was accessible and the building has both a professional and a “homey” feel to it. Perper described the high ceilings as creating an open feeling within the office. “I really wanted people to have a little more of a personal experience when they came in,” Perper said. She did extensive research prior to deciding on her office space at Harbor Point. “It’s nestled in a residential community,” Perper said. The goal of the project was to tie the building into the community, said Arthur. “I think it has a unique Point Loma feel to it and you can see that in the art wall and you can see it in the architectural concrete,” Arthur said. One of the final touches on the $7 million project was the installation of a mural created by Solana Beach artist Betsy Schulz. Harbor Point is owned by the Peckham family,
