Welcome to the latest edition of our new series, The TenantBase Tour Guide, for startups and businesses looking to set up shop in our favorite cities. This week’s city is actually Orange County’s first: the city of Orange. 

As the first city in Orange County, Orange was immensely important to the development of the large and modern county we see today. The city continues to play a crucial role through its vibrant public plaza, modern office developments, and charming residencies. The diverse economy within the town allows a variety of different industries to prosper.

 

Orange is the only city in the region planned around a plaza, and boasts many historical sites. The Orange Circle, the Outlets, and the regional park are just a few attractions this quaint town offers to explore.

 

The city currently houses 140,094 residents and is mainly an urban county. Chapman University also plays a large role this historic region. Charming retail stores and restaurants in the surrounding area create a quaint college town atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TenantBase's technology-enabled platform simplify the process of finding office space for businesses?

TenantBase simplifies the office search by reversing the traditional commercial real estate model. Instead of businesses spending weeks searching listings and contacting landlords, tenants begin by sharing their space requirements, including location, size, budget, and timing. TenantBase’s technology then matches those needs with qualified local tenant-representation brokers and relevant market options.

What role do local tenant representation brokers play in TenantBase's commercial real estate leasing process?

Local tenant-representation brokers provide market expertise, advocate for tenant interests, and manage the leasing process from start to finish—space selection, negotiations, and concessions—helping reduce risk and improve outcomes.

How can I use TenantBase's blog to compare different commercial real estate leasing options?

The blog breaks down lease structures (Gross, Net, Modified Gross) and explains how costs like taxes, insurance, and CAM charges affect total occupancy expenses so readers can compare trade-offs.

What insights does the Partner Broker Highlight section provide for businesses searching for office space for rent?

Partner Broker Highlights showcase trusted tenant-rep brokers, their experience, and advice—building transparency and trust while sharing negotiation and market insights.

How does TenantBase tailor the leasing experience to help businesses find the right office space fit online?

TenantBase combines technology with local tenant advisors to customize searches based on headcount, growth plans, budget, and timing—streamlining discovery and helping teams lease space that fits operational and financial goals.
