Creative Renovations Hit Class-B Office

IRVINE, CA—Redevelopment activity among class-B office properties is a burgeoning trend in Orange County. The activity is a way to enhance older product to make it more attractive for users and to enable them to attract and retain talent, Colby and Blaine Annett, co-managing partners of Stream Realty Partners here, tell GlobeSt.com.

“We’re noticing landlords trying to listen to tenant demand,” says Colby Annett. “Tenants want unique amenities for their employees—not only in an office building, but outside, too. They want space that’s WiFi equipped, with outdoor seating and above-standard parking, possibly with a basketball hoop or bocce court, so they can either work inside the space or go outside for quick brainstorming sessions.”
