Old homes week
Property added to personal portfolios
Fox Hill, no longer for sale
Far from receiving a decent burial, the La Jolla bones of San Diego’s old Copley newspaper empire have become touchstones for two wealthy San Diego powerbrokers, who have laid out big money to add them to their personal portfolios. Most famously, former Union-Tribune owner and real estate mogul Douglas Manchester snapped up Fox Hill last year, paying $17 million for the Country Club Drive abode of the late publisher Helen Copley and her husband Jim.
Now there’s word that John Moores, the mega-millionaire ex–Padres owner from Rancho Santa Fe who is on the team to build a new downtown Chargers stadium, has latched on to the old Copley Newspapers’ corporate headquarters at 7776 Ivanhoe. The $6.15 million deal was actually done four years ago, through the nondescriptly named firm of Ivanhoe Investors, LLC. Since then, JMI Equity, the investment outfit owned by Moores, has moved into the second floor, and real estate records confirm that Ivanhoe Investors is headed by JMI Managing General Partner Paul V. Barber.
The three-story, 25,464-square-foot mid-century modern office building, designed in 1957 by noted local architect Roy Drew, was priced at $11.5 million when it was originally advertised for sale. Now it remains to be seen if the once-powerful newspaper chain’s old digs will imbue Moores with the power to get San Diego city voters to boost hotel taxes to 16.5 percent, as foreseen by his putative stadium-building partnership with the Chargers.
