Redevelopment of office portfolio asset into Class A industrial facility

In 2023, we broke ground on the redevelopment of an outdated office property, located in Irvine, California, which we redeveloped into a new, Class A industrial facility. The property was preleased to Terran Orbital Corporation, a global leader in satellite-based solutions.

In addition to bolstering Terran Orbital’s satellite production capacity and bringing jobs to the Irvine area, the redevelopment creates significant value for W. P. Carey by adding a Class A industrial asset located in a top-tier infill market to our portfolio.

Sustainable features include electric-vehicle charging stations, energy-efficient LED lighting, drought-resistant landscaping, advanced energy metering and a to-be-built, on-site rooftop solar system. W. P. Carey is targeting LEED-Gold certification for this asset. The redevelopment was completed in 2024, and the solar design is underway.

Building Features:¹

  • 10% of parking stalls have electric vehicle chargers 
  • 41% indoor water use reduction
  • 94% demolition and construction waste diverted from landfills
