Repositioned Irvine Offices Achieve High Price Per Square Foot

Cushman & Wakefield represented J+R Group in the sale of 2525 Main St., a 143,269-square-foot office property in Irvine. The Orange County Airport Area property was nearly 98% leased to nine tenants upon buyer selection. The property sold for $37.6 million to Pacific Tree Capital, an Orange County-based private family.

The property’s sales price of $262 per square foot places it among the highest prices per square foot for a multi-tenant Orange County office building post-pandemic, according to Cushman & Wakefield tracking. 

Cushman & Wakefield’s Jeffrey Cole, Nico Napolitano, Kevin Nolen, Jason Kimmel and Kristen Schottmiller with the firm’s Southern California offices represented the seller. J+R Group invested significant capital into all aspects of the project, including all common areas, tenant spaces, a six-story parking garage and approved residential entitlements on excess land.  
 
“This transaction is proof that a well-thought-out, modern repositioned office asset can attract discerning tenants in a challenging office market,” said Cole.
