ATL makes computer tape-storage equipment, like those used to back-up important electronic files and data. The company says it has leased about 180,000 sf in two buildings next to its current global headquarters in Irvine's University Research Park and will begin moving into the space later this year.

Though GlobeSt.com broke the news of ATL's lease agreement last week, the announcement that Grubb & Ellis made today provided some previously undisclosed financial details. Most notably, the lease will run for five years and is valued at $16.4 million, says Scott Read of Grubb & Ellis' Newport Beach office.

Read represented ATL in the negotiations. The owner, Irvine Co. of Newport Beach, was represented in-house by Mike Hodges. The transaction includes renewing the lease of about 63,000 sf at ATL Products' existing location, a nearby complex at 101 Innovation Drive.
