Kawasaki Motors Corp. USA has sold its corporate headquarters in Irvine to Bixby Land Co. for $44.25 million.

Kawasaki will remain a tenant at the 262,463 square foot building at 9950 Jeronimo Road, while Bixby plans to spend $20 million for an extensive redevelopment of the property to create a space that will attract “creative fields who are in search of large offices to rent,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

The acquisition is Bixby’s fourth in Orange County over the past 18 months. Bixby’s plans to redesign Kawasaki’s building centers on an interior access corridor beneath a high-volume glass canopy that will include a fitness center and an indoor-outdoor café. The design by architecture firm LPA also includes significant upgrades to the exterior façade, including the addition of floor-to-ceiling glass lines and decorative screen metal canopies at building entry points.

Besides the headquarters building in Irvine, Kawasaki has regional sales offices and distribution centers in Piscataway, N.J.; Atlanta; Fort Worth, Texas; and Grand Rapids, MI.
