IRVINE, Calif. (May 26, 2026) – Irvine Company today announced continued strong demand and the next evolution of Flex+, its premium move-in ready office program. New partnerships with industry leaders Meter and Williams Sonoma Inc., alongside existing partner MillerKnoll, provide customers with access to services that simplify the process of opening an office, including:
- Fully Managed Connectivity with Meter: Flex+ customers can access internet and networking solutions with a single contact and one monthly fee, benefiting from preferred rates over the term of their lease. Select pre-wired, internet-ready suites get companies online in as little as 48 hours.
- Premium Furniture with MillerKnoll: Whether choosing a pre-furnished suite or purchasing directly from MillerKnoll’s extensive catalog, Flex+ customers have access to preferred pricing, offering considerable savings compared to non-customer rates.
- Decorative Accessories with Williams Sonoma Inc.: Through Williams Sonoma Inc.’s portfolio of brands, Flex+ customers can customize their environments with lighting, decor, and office essentials. This collaboration includes professional design services and a corporate discount.
“Providing small businesses with a simple path to premium workspace is essential for helping them move further and faster in today’s competitive market,” said Roger DeWames, President of Irvine Company Office Properties. “Through our new partnerships with leaders in technology and design, we deliver move-in ready suites that eliminate upfront investment and allow companies to launch their operations without compromising on quality.”
Flex+ accounted for nearly two million square feet of leasing activity in 2025, representing nearly a quarter of Irvine Company’s total office leasing. Flexible workspaces continue to see demand this year as Flex+ has leased more than 415,000 square feet from January 1 to March 31, 2026. This activity demonstrates companies prioritizing speed and flexibility, with financial and professional services, along with technology companies, driving the majority of Flex+ leasing activity.
Customers are already utilizing these services to establish or expand their operations.
“While we were looking to expand our office space, we prioritized operational efficiency. When Irvine Company made Meter’s fully managed, enterprise-grade networking solution available through Flex+, we were immediately on board,” says Nick Yebisu, Chief Operating Officer at Federal First Lending. “This offering allowed us to bypass the complexities of vendor management, procurement and installation, enabling us to focus on our business rather than moving logistics.”
