In 2021, then-CEO Bob Chapek and parks and experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro announced plans to relocate employees supporting Disney theme parks and resorts — including the celebrated Imagineers — to a planned $1-billion office park in the Lake Nona area of Orlando, Fla. The move was designed for Disney to take advantage of Florida tax credits, but the cross-country shift was deeply unpopular among employees who were asked to uproot their lives in Southern California.

An office park in San Clemente holds the headquarters of The Surfer’s Journal.

Trevor Bauer does it all here, in a two-story facility he owns within a nondescript office park.

A Google search showed RaterLabs in a Kirkland office park just west of Interstate 405, but another business located in that building and a realtor familiar with the property had not heard of the company.

The result, critics say, has been a “failed city” that’s now more of a research hub and office park – some 1,000 businesses have taken up tenancy – that has overshadowed hopes for a broader mix with more retail, residential areas and cultural offerings that a truly livable city would offer.
