IRVINE, Calif. (July 31, 2025) — Irvine Company today announced that its portfolio of premium office space across Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Silicon Valley, Chicago and New York closed the 2025 fiscal year (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025) at nearly 90% leased with 10.6 million square feet leased. This leasing momentum follows another strong year of activity with 10.4 million square feet leased in the previous fiscal year.
These results outperform the U.S. office market overall lease rate by 10%, according to Moody’s Analytics. As companies continue to evolve their workstyles and workplace strategies, Irvine Company remains a leader in customer retention. The Company completed the signing of key renewals totaling more than 6 million square feet in FY25. This demonstrates customers’ demand for high-quality workplaces and value in maintaining an ongoing relationship with their landlord, particularly in terms of leasing, service, and support.
“Our results show the continued flight to quality and stability in the office market combined with strong demand for centrally located workplaces where our customers and their teams can have the ideal live, work and play lifestyle,” said Roger DeWames, President of Irvine Company Office Properties. “With Irvine Company’s financial strength, we’re able to provide exceptional workplaces with elevated customer service and flexible lease options to meet each of our customers’ unique business needs and workplace strategies.”
Over the past 12 months, Irvine Company has invested $637 million across its office portfolio, covering reinvestment and operating capital, workspace improvements, amenity offerings and more. This includes:
- The completion of a $10 million investment at One North Wacker and an ongoing $37 million investment plan at 300 North LaSalle in Chicago
- Investment plans totaling $33 million across its Orange County portfolio, including projects at Irvine Business Center, Pacific Arts Plaza, Jamboree Center and 660/680 Newport Center Drive
- Investment plans totaling more than $25 million across its San Diego region portfolio, including The Plaza in La Jolla UTC, Canyon Ridge Technology Park in Sorrento Mesa and Eastgate in La Jolla UTC
The Company also reported continued strong demand for its Flex+ product, which is designed primarily for small and mid-sized businesses. Flex+ offers premium, move-in ready suites in the best locations and a simplified experience that makes it easy for companies to move in quickly and scale easily. Over the past 12 months, Irvine Company leased 1.8 million square feet of Flex+ space and plans to invest $200 million in Flex+ over the next five years.
“We’ve moved three different times in the last four years, and the only reason why we’re able to accomplish that is because we’re with Irvine Company,” says Vince Curcie, CEO and Founder of Orange County Solar. “We love the quality and reputation of Irvine Company and their willingness to work with us so we’re never locked down or confined.”
Financial services, legal services and manufacturing were the top three industries to drive leasing activity across Irvine Company’s portfolio. According to Cushman & Wakefield, legal leasing volumes have exceeded 2019 levels by 35% over the past five quarters. The legal sector continues to migrate to Class A workplaces that offer flexibility, hospitality-style amenities and brand expression opportunities, according to the report.
