Orange County continues to be the class of the Los Angeles Basin. With its sunny beaches and enviable weather, the OC has been a destination in and of itself, where people love to live as well as work. With a vacancy rate of 11.9% and 348,783 square feet of new office construction delivering through the end of 2019, expansion space is plentiful for regional and national tenants looking to expand or relocate.
What’s behind the momentum? Location, Location, Location.
The OC is a tourist center with attractions like Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. Shopping abounds with several notable malls that include South Coast Plaza (the largest mall in California), Fashion Island and Irvine Spectrum. With a growing housing stock, and John Wayne Airport (which provides commercial passenger and air-cargo service), the OC is a transportation hub that appeals to institutional tenants and investors, as well as a growing educated workforce.
