The twin to Orange County?s tallest building officially opened for business Wednesday with a media unveiling overlooking South Orange County from about 300 feet up in the air.
Irvine Co. officials likened the 200 and 400 Spectrum Center buildings to a jewel box during the early stages of construction. Sheathed in floor-to-ceiling Viracon glass panels, 400 Spectrum Center ? like its twin ? looks as if its floors float up into the sky, with the main structural support coming from a concrete column at the center of the building. Case compared the new tower on Wednesday to Apple?s new iPhone X because of its high-performance, bluish outer panels ? hard to get because they?re the same glass panels installed at the new One World Trade Center building in Manhattan, company officials said.
Rents in the building will range from about $4.35 to $5.50 per square foot, depending on the floor and other variables, Case said. The average for Orange County during the second quarter was $2.75 per square foot, according to commercial brokerage CBRE.
Rents at 400 Spectrum Center are about 9 percent higher than lease rates for 200 Spectrum, but still well below the Irvine Co.?s Fashion Island high-rise tower at 520 Newport Center Dr. Rents there range from about $5 to $9 per square foot.
Case said the Irvine Co. knew that its new high-rise office towers would attract law firms and financial service companies, but was pleased to see that it?s also drawing high-tech companies, which tend to prefer large, low-rise complexes like the Google and Apple campuses.
