Granite Properties bought 100 Bayview for $125.7 million back in 2018, according to CommercialEdge data. The six-story, Class A office building is situated at 100 Bayview Circle, within the Bayview Corporate Center mixed-use campus. The building was originally constructed in 1991 and received a cosmetic renovation following Granite’s acquisition. Current tenants include Green Street Advisors, WeWork and LDC Advisors, among others.

The 346,335-square-foot property offers floorplates of 60,000 square feet and includes a 4,000-square-foot retail component. Industrious Newport Beach will comprise 104 private offices and suites, 19 conference rooms, a café, a wellness room, an outdoor lounge and a fitness center. The office has a parking ratio of 4/1,000 and other amenities include EV charging stations and a complementary bike program.

Industrious Newport Beach is near several key transit routes—freeways 55, 73 and Interstate 405 are all within 5 miles, as is John Wayne Airport and multiple public transportation points. Cycling and hiking trails are available nearby, along with a variety of shopping and dining destinations.

The new location marks Industrious’ fifth such workspace in Orange County. In California, the company has a total footprint of more than 700,000 square feet. In February, CBRE announced plans to buy a 40 percent stake in Industrious in a $200 million deal. The brokerage giant will become the largest shareholder in Industrious, which it plans to merge with Hana, CBRE’s own flexible office platform.
