IRVINE, Calif. — One of Orange County’s biggest office relocation stories is taking shape in Irvine. According to the Orange County Business Journal, Taco Bell and Habit Burger & Grill plan to relocate their shared headquarters to Irvine Company’s Alton HQ campus in Irvine Spectrum.
The move is a useful reminder that a commercial relocation is much more than transporting desks from one building to another. For companies searching for office movers in Irvine, commercial movers in Newport Beach, Costa Mesa office movers or an experienced Orange County commercial moving company, careful planning can make the difference between a smooth transition and unnecessary business disruption.
A Major Irvine Headquarters Move
The Orange County Business Journal reports that Taco Bell and Habit will move from their current 181,000-square-foot headquarters at 1 Glen Bell Way to a roughly 254,000-square-foot, three-building campus on Alton Parkway. The relocation is expected by spring 2028 after tenant improvements are completed.
The publication reports that the future campus is planned for more than 1,100 people and will include expanded meeting capacity, a dining center, a photo studio, outdoor workspace, fitness center, sports court, daycare and a dedicated Habit test kitchen.
Student Movers® is not involved in the Taco Bell/Habit relocation; we’re highlighting the news because it illustrates the scale, coordination and planning that can go into an Orange County office move.
What Businesses Should Plan Before an Office Move
Whether a company is moving 10 employees or hundreds, the same fundamentals matter. A commercial move should begin with building access and loading logistics, elevator reservations, parking and dock requirements, certificates of insurance when required, furniture and workstation planning, equipment inventories, labeling, floor plans and a realistic move schedule.
For larger office relocations, businesses may also need phased moving, after-hours or weekend scheduling, temporary storage, furniture disassembly and reassembly, packing support, internal office moves and coordination between property management, facilities teams, contractors and the moving company.
