Property Overview

144 N. Glassell Street occupies one of the most unique locations in Historic Old Towne Orange, one of Southern California's most intact and walkable downtown districts. Built in 1916, this vintage brick building offers flexible office and studio environments with a character and authenticity that cannot be replicated by new construction. Available space includes approximately 4,200 SF of second-floor creative office space ("The Loft"), ideally suited for professional services firms, family offices, architecture and design practices, marketing agencies, technology companies, and other users seeking a distinctive headquarters/office environment. An additional 3,950 SF lower-level studio environment ("The Studio") creates opportunities for content creation, podcasting, editing suites, training, wellness, collaborative work, or other creative uses. Original brick, arched windows with Craftsman details provide a warm and inspiring work environment, while a private outdoor patio further enhances the experience. Surrounded by independent restaurants, coffee shops, boutique retail, and cultural institutions, the property and Plaza remains active well beyond business hours. Chapman University (8,000+ students) and the Orange Metrolink Station are both within walking distance, with abundant public and street parking throughout the district.
