Commercial Office Market


 


Quickly evolving in Ontario is its robust office market for corporate headquarters, large professional firms and high technology companies. Ontario offers a stable environment with lifestyle amenities, reasonable lease rates, modern facilities, technical amenities, efficient infrastructure and a highly skilled labor market.

 

 

Ontario currently has 4.9 million square feet of office space and 1.6 million square feet under development.

Based on a recent econometric study, Ontario expects to realize 15 to 25 million square feet of new office space in the next 20 years to accommodate expected business and population growth.

In 4th Quarter 2008, office space near LA/Ontario International Airport was $2.26 per month, compared to $2.52 for space in Orange County.

Companies such as Merrill Lynch, Chapman University and the Brady Corporation are just a few examples of companies who have relocated to Ontario for its corporate advantages.

Increasingly favored by executives wishing to avoid the delays and congestion of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), companies locating offices within Ontario are not only within minutes of LA/Ontario International Airport (LA/ONT), they also have access to the fastest broadband communications from fiber optic and wireless carriers.

 

Additionally, companies in Ontario are within minutes from the researchers and graduates of numerous major colleges and universities. This 'innovation corridor' includes:

 

Harvey Mudd College

Keck Graduate School of Applied Life Sciences

California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

The University of California, Riverside

Loma Linda University

California State University, San Bernardino

The Claremont Colleges

The University of Redlands

The Accredited University of La Verne School of Law

 

The high cost of housing in Southern California's coastal counties is driving thousands of technicians, professionals and executives to new, upscale, inland neighborhoods. Characteristic of this migration is a clear preference not to commute and a strong desire to work locally. For more information on Ontario’s new lifestyle developments, click here.
