The three-story office project occupies a prominent location in the Irvine Spectrum, just off of the Santa Ana Freeway, where tenants include leaders in the software, computer hardware, biotech, medical devices, broadband communications and automotive design industries. According to Bob Murray, director and head of the western region for Praedium's acquisition group, the joint venture of Praedium and Orion chose the property for its location in a strong Orange County leasing market.
"Exceptional job growth and attractive demographics have made this a difficult market to enter," Murray comments.
