Innovation Park

Irvine Company’s Innovation Office Park is a 75-acre master-planned campus focused on sparking creativity and connecting people to the outdoors.

Designed before the pandemic, Innovation Office Park, a 1.1-million-square-foot development in Irvine, California, addresses many of the issues at the forefront of the post-COVID workplace.

The 75-acre campus, the first phase of which opened in the spring of 2021, was developed as an “open-air office village,” with a focus on creating a healthier workplace. The main feature of the site is an olive and pine tree-lined pedestrian pathline made from handpicked stones, which serves as a central spine for the campus. Every one of the site’s 28 buildings offers access to the wide path line, drawing staff outside and creating connections between the other buildings and social space for pop-up restaurants and events.“

It was all about creating this community,” says LPA Director of Commercial Nick Arambarri. “Irvine Company wanted to activate the outdoor spaces and create a healthier environment for tenants.”

The low-rise office campus is designed for creative, collaborative companies, offering spaces to accommodate growing businesses looking to create their own identities. Buildings can be customized for different customers, large or small. Spaces are flexible, allowing companies to develop their own experiences, including electric roll-up doors opening to private patios and glass walls at ground level.

To enhance the village theme, a central 17,000-square-foot amenities hub offers a curated mix of elements that go far beyond the typical office complex. The list includes a high-end restaurant, on-site catering connected to the conference center, an indoor-outdoor fitness and yoga center and an outdoor common area with games, a lounge, conference spaces with AV capabilities and an event area with kitchen. The café and fitness center have distinct styles, fitting of the campus atmosphere.
