Costa Mesa Adaptive Reuse Development Advances

Invesco Real Estate, along with development partners SteelWave and 5_Ronin, completed Phase I of The Press in Costa Mesa. The former LA Times’ thriving newsroom, printing press and distribution facility dating back to the 1960’s has been reimagined as a state-of-the-art mixed-use creative work campus and social hall.

The adaptive reuse project at 1375 Sunflower Ave. will offer 380,856 square feet of modern creative office space and 50,909 square feet of retail space when completed in Q4 2020. The project is spread across 24 acres and includes a 1.5-acre park.

Newmark’s Jay Nugent and George Thomson are handling the office leasing. Retail Insite’s Chris Hodgman and The Lab’s Jason House are leasing the retail portion.

Nugent says, “The Press is like nothing Orange County has seen before and after six months of construction, it is really starting to take shape, which we believe will change the landscape and perception of Orange County office space.”
