IRVINE, CA—Consolidating two separate office locations in Orange County under one roof provides cutting-edge amenities, better customer service and a “wow” factor when you walk in the door for Cushman & Wakefield, the firm's managing principal Eric Paulsen tells GlobeSt.com. C&W's Orange County office has relocated to Lakeshore, a multi-building, mixed-use office complex located in Irvine Business Complex.

Operating in 28,415 square feet, the modern workplace is on the 9th and 10th floors of the 10-story building at 18111 Von Karman Ave. The new penthouse space in Irvine currently houses approximately 100 professionals, plus room for expected growth. The office buildout was completed in late October, the firm working closely with architect Gensler and general contractor Howard Building Corp. Leasing negotiations were handled by Rick Kaplan, Robert Lambert and Greg Brown of C&W.

Prior to coming together into its single location, this office had operated out of two separate facilities also stationed in Irvine. The new office brings together a full scope of services including tenant representation, agency leasing, capital markets, project and development services, property management and facilities management.
We spoke with Paulsen, Gensler principal Anne Bretana and Gensler interior designer Hannah Zalusky about how the move reflects on the company's strategy within Orange County, the design features that make it special and what the office says about general office trends in the market.
