ANAHEIM, CA—Lincoln Property Co.'s Axis project, due to complete Q1 2016, will be close to Anaheim Stadium, the Honda Center, ARTIC and numerous retail amenities that make it a truly unique opportunity for Orange County tenants, DTZ's executive managing director John Harty tells GlobeSt.com. DTZ has been selected to market the 306,600-square-foot property for lease, and it will feature a fitness center, café and conference center in five buildings (four of which will contain three floors, one of which will have five floors). We spoke exclusively with Harty about what makes the project unique.

GlobeSt.com: What is unique about the Axis project?

Harty: Axis is the first creative-office project in Central Orange County. Axis' progressive design will be new to the market. Its proximity to Anaheim Stadium, the Honda Center, ARTIC and numerous retail amenities truly make it a unique opportunity for Orange County tenants.   

GlobeSt.com: Why was Anaheim the right market for this project?

Harty: Anaheim sits at the confluence of three major freeways, is the most recognizable city in Orange County internationally (because of the Angels, Ducks, and Disney), and can attract a variety of labor from coastal Orange County to the Inland Empire and L.A. County.   

GlobeSt.com: What were the biggest challenges to this development?

Harty: No challenges that are unique to this project.

GlobeSt.com: What else should our readers know about this project?

Harty: It's going to be very cool. I think the most interesting information is the fact that this type of project is breaking ground in Central Orange County. We have seen a bit of this in South Orange County and the Airport area, but not in Anaheim. Further, what we have seen in the rest of Orange County, for the most part, has been a toe in the water, so to speak. This will be the real deal.
