During February, 2017 MNAO will continue its 30-year residency in Irvine, California as it looks to move to an all-new state-of-the-art facility, the result of a 10-year lease announced today.
Mazda became the occupant of its current location at 7755 Irvine Center Drive in October of 1987. The current building was constructed for Mazda in a then-developing city named Irvine. The five-story building would end up being the first high rise development in the city. Mazda relocated to Irvine from Compton, Calif. where it first established its North American headquarters in 1970.
First Nissan abandoned congested, highly taxed Southern California for Tennessee. Toyota is now in the process of fleeing to Texas.
Mazda will occupy five floors of the 21-floor building at 200 Spectrum Center Drive with exclusive naming rights on the top of the building. Additionally, Mazda will occupy half of the lobby, with vehicle.
Officially the tallest building in Orange County, the 21-story vertical campus, owned by Irvine Company, was designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, encompassing a total of 426,000 square-feet. It has modern architecture with un-obscured 360-degree views. Every floor has 10-foot floor-to-ceiling glass allowing abundant natural light, unobstructed views of the outside.
