The Big Picture on Office’s Evolution

Loughridge: “They want to see amenities like we have designed and implemented at Radius: outdoor sitting areas, barbecue/fire pit areas, sports courts, outdoor ‘rooms’ for meetings.”

IRVINE, CA—Work and life and are intertwined, creating a work environment that feels more like home and allows for more flexibility, collaboration and socializing, CapRock Partners’ VP Jake Loughridge tells GlobeSt.com. The firm has completed Radius, an innovative new $2.5-million office-redevelopment project at 14191 Myford Rd. in Tustin, CA, acquired in an off-market transaction. Radius encompasses 7.4 acres and a total of 110,000 square feet that was originally designed as premium industrial space. CapRock repositioned 70,000 square feet for a single user looking for its own identity in a contemporary office environment. The remaining space was leased at the close of escrow by a tenant in-tow, as part of the original transaction. We sat down with Loughridge for an exclusive chat about Radius, how the project represents the evolution of the office sector and what he sees coming next for this sector.

Use of the outside of the facility is just as important to today’s office tenants as use of the interior.
