Discussing trends in the county's commercial real estate market,McHolm says, "I would say it's more R&D, flex-tech; that kindof product is certainly hotter and certainly growing more [inOrange County]. We have had a few office buildings built in pastfew years, and they've filled up well. But the real kind ofbackbone of the industry is the kind of product you see in theIrvine Spectrum and the Pacific Commerce Center," he adds. "In onedeal, the client's biggest concern was the ability to expand. It isthe one thing tenants want to be sure of if they make a largeinvestment in a facility or a campus-like facility…if they needmore space they can find it."
