VALENCIA PARK EXECUTIVE CENTER
Valencia Park Executive Center (VPEC), located at 25115 Avenue Stanford, has been an important and friendly neighbor to Crossroads Community Church through our shared parking agreement. Since acquiring the building, the new ownership team has developed excellent tenant relations with personal attention and focus on helping local businesses succeed. VPEC is dedicated to serving tenants based on the guiding principles of integrity, respect and accountability.
Originally built for Lockheed Martin in 1983, VPEC can accommodate tenants ranging from large institutions to individual private offices. VPEC offers a professionally managed building, with onsite support services, landscaped courtyard and expansive window line. VPEC is also offering free rent incentives for new tenants. Office suites currently range between 700 to 7,000 square feet, with potentially up to 13,000 square feet for a full floor tenant, subject to availability.
