Orange County Commercial Real Estate Market

Orange County offers a diversified CRE market anchored by the Irvine Spectrum and South Coast Metro office corridors, which host major tenants in technology, financial services, and professional services. The Irvine Company's extensive land holdings and master-planned development approach give the submarket a distinctive character, with tightly controlled supply and consistently strong rents. The Anaheim Resort district, centered on Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center, drives hospitality and entertainment-related CRE demand. Industrial activity concentrates in the Airport Area near John Wayne Airport and in the older infill markets of Anaheim and Santa Ana, where smaller flex and warehouse properties serve local distribution needs.

Key Economic Drivers

  • Irvine Spectrum and Great Park Neighborhoods tech and life sciences campus growth
  • Disneyland Resort and Anaheim Convention Center tourism economy
  • Broadcom, Western Digital, and semiconductor company headquarters
  • John Wayne Airport (SNA) and related business travel infrastructure

Market Insight
