Lease is latest example of demand for ‘NextGen’ workspace in Irvine Spectrum
IRVINE, Calif. (Oct. 17, 2017) – Vyaire Medical, Inc., a recognized leader in medical devices for respiratory diagnostics, ventilation, anesthesia delivery and patient monitoring, has signed a lease for two buildings at Irvine Company’s new “NextGen” campus at The Quad @ Discovery Business Center in Irvine Spectrum.
The company will occupy 50% of The Quad – space totaling 185,000 square-feet at 510 and 520 Technology Drive when the workplace community opens in the summer of 2018.
The lease adds to Irvine Spectrum’s growing reputation as the ultimate business address. The Quad @ Discovery Business Center is 50-percent pre-leased; Irvine Company’s new 21-story 400 Spectrum Center, which opened September 13, is 41-percent pre-leased; its sister building, 200 Spectrum Center, opened last year and is 99-percent leased.
The remaining 7 million square feet of Irvine Company offices in Irvine Spectrum are 98-percent leased.
“We are honored that Vyaire chose our newest ‘NextGen’ campus as the place where they plan to accelerate their success and develop new medical device solutions for those needing respiratory care,” said Steve Case, executive vice president, Irvine Company Office Properties. “The Quad @ Discovery Business Center is designed to offer forward-thinking companies a vibrant workplace community with unique amenities to inspire employees and enhance their lives.”
Vyaire officials said Irvine – and The Quad @ Discovery Business Center – is the perfect setting to inspire employees to research and develop medical devices that support life and improve treatments for patients.
“The Quad @ Discovery Business Center provides an incredible setting for us to establish our brand and culture as we aim to improve patient outcomes and continue to grow as a leader in respiratory care,” said David Stafford, Chief Financial Officer of Vyaire. “This location aligns with Vyaire’s future growth plans by being able to better access top external talent markets in and around Irvine. Having modern offices that promote collaboration, plus being situated along the 5 Freeway in Irvine Spectrum, will help us with recruitment and and provide our employees a great place to work.”
The company’s new offices will feature sleek, modern architecture with coastal California lifestyle amenities, including floor-to-ceiling glass and aluminum curtain walls for superior natural light and energy efficiency; sliding entry doors connecting indoor-outdoor workspaces; advanced infrastructure for technology. It also includes two Irvine Company signature amenities – KINETIC, its fitness and wellness movement, which offers indoor and outdoor activities, such as yoga and bike-sharing programs, and The Commons, a large open-air space at the heart of each campus that include a Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor living-room, sun decks, al fresco dining, barbecues and more for people to work, collaborate or refresh.
The NextGen concept was developed after extensive research into the needs of today’s businesses and employees.
Irvine Company’s six NextGen buildings in Irvine Spectrum total 581,000-square-feet. The projects include four three-story and two four-story buildings totaling 370,000-square-feet at The Quad @ Discovery Business Center and two four-story buildings totaling 211,00-square-feet at Sand Canyon Business Center, which opened this summer and is already 70-percent leased to technology leaders AutoGravity and Cavium.
Both projects—close to the 405, 5 and 133 freeways near Irvine Center Drive and Sand Canyon Avenue — are located at one of California’s premier live, work, play communities.
“Irvine Spectrum offers proximity to outstanding housing options, easy access to transportation, world-class amenities and many of the region’s most vibrant workplace communities,” Case said. “We are proud that a growing number of industry-leading companies are choosing to relocate to Irvine Spectrum.”
