TenantBase Tour Guide | San Clemente

Welcome to the latest edition of The TenantBase Tour Guide, for startups and businesses thinking of moving into Orange County. This week, we welcome you to the beautiful city of San Clemente, where the sun shines 342 days a year and the land made of beaches.

Even though San Clemente is a popular beach location, it has managed to maintain its small-town charm. Considering the land was simply barren rolling hills covered with mustard and sagebrush 75 years ago, this eclectic town has come a long way. As town founder Ole Hanson said, “It is on the coast. Its climate is superb. It is far enough from San Diego and Los Angeles to fill a real necessity. Besides, people love the beautiful things.”

Here are some staff favorites in San Clemente:

 

Areas to work or meet outside the office:

-Bear Coast Coffee: Locals rave about the caramel lavender latte and its proximity to the beach.

-Zebra House Coffee: Bring cash (No ATM here!) and sip a rose latte while you sit in cute, mismatched chairs and tables.

-Pipe’s Cafe: Breakfast is served all day and the beach vibe is all hours too.

Restaurants:

-Happa J’s: I can personally recommend this Hawaiian kitchen and bar! My favorite dish to order is the Hapa Nachos with kalua pig!

-The Cellar: Come for the live music, stay for the cheese plate at “Ecstatic Hour” (4 pm- 6 pm)

-South of Nick’s: If you’re looking for something a little fancier, we suggest this popular choice. their prime rib dip is so popular that they offer it on the menu “until it’s out.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TenantBase's technology-enabled platform simplify the process of finding office space for businesses?

TenantBase simplifies the office search by reversing the traditional commercial real estate model. Instead of businesses spending weeks searching listings and contacting landlords, tenants begin by sharing their space requirements, including location, size, budget, and timing. TenantBase’s technology then matches those needs with qualified local tenant-representation brokers and relevant market options.

What role do local tenant representation brokers play in TenantBase's commercial real estate leasing process?

Local tenant-representation brokers provide market expertise, advocate for tenant interests, and manage the leasing process from start to finish—space selection, negotiations, and concessions—helping reduce risk and improve outcomes.

How can I use TenantBase's blog to compare different commercial real estate leasing options?

The blog breaks down lease structures (Gross, Net, Modified Gross) and explains how costs like taxes, insurance, and CAM charges affect total occupancy expenses so readers can compare trade-offs.

What insights does the Partner Broker Highlight section provide for businesses searching for office space for rent?

Partner Broker Highlights showcase trusted tenant-rep brokers, their experience, and advice—building transparency and trust while sharing negotiation and market insights.
