Iteris Inc. plans to move its current Santa Ana operations to two separate facilities in Irvine by the early second half of 2027. The transition will involve shifting 110 employees to an executive office at the Boardwalk complex and a 65,000-square-foot industrial facility.
Why it matters
The relocation signals a long-term commitment to Orange County for the firm, which was recently acquired by Almaviva in 2024. Operators should note how the company is balancing administrative functions with industrial output while maintaining its corporate headquarters in Austin.
Iteris, the ninth-largest telecommunications and wireless firm in Orange County as of 2026, currently maintains 110 staff in its Santa Ana facility. The company is dividing these operations into a 65,000-square-foot industrial unit and an executive office for 30 employees.
The players
Iteris Inc.
A telecommunications and wireless company that provides smart mobility infrastructure and was ranked ninth-largest in Orange County in 2026.
Almaviva
A global technology group that acquired Iteris in 2024 and is establishing its North American headquarters in Irvine.
The details
The firm is splitting its footprint between the Boardwalk office complex on Jamboree Road and a dedicated Waterworks Way site. The former will serve as the North American headquarters for the parent company, Almaviva, while the latter will support product development, consulting, and industrial operations.
Timeline
2024: Almaviva acquired Iteris.
Early second half of 2027: Relocation of all operations to be completed.
Market Landscape
This move follows the 2024 acquisition of Iteris by Almaviva, reflecting the typical consolidation of physical footprints that follows international corporate buyouts. It specifically aligns with broader trends of tech firms clustering operations in Irvine to leverage proximity to other regional infrastructure firms.
Local business leaders should monitor how the consolidation of industrial and executive space impacts the local commercial real estate demand in the Jamboree Road corridor. Owners should also watch for potential shifts in service demand as Iteris scales its local consulting and development capacity.
The takeaway
The split-facility strategy demonstrates how firms can isolate administrative HQs from technical operations while maintaining regional presence. Operators should track the move-in completion date in 2027 as a potential indicator of shifting labor demand in the Irvine tech corridor.
