Disneyland Buys 25-Acre OC Property From Yamaha

CYPRESS, CA — Disney recently purchased Yamaha Motor Corp. USA’s 25-acre U.S. headquarters in Cypress, according to reports.

The media giant’s parks and resorts division paid about $115 million for the property in the 6500 block of Katella Avenue, completing the purchase last month, the Orange County Business Journal reported.

The site is roughly 7 miles from Disneyland in Anaheim, and the company told the Southern California News Group that it will use the property for “back-of-house operations.”

“This property offered an opportunity for a sound investment given its sizable footprint and proximity to the resort,” Disney told the news group. “This acquisition provides space that can help support our long-term operational needs for our continued growth and evolving business needs.”

The site includes warehouse, flex and office space, with 279,000 square feet in total, according to the business journal. The sale is part of Yamaha’s restructuring in Kennesaw, Georgia, the Southern California News Group reported.

“The acquisition underscores the caliber of this asset and the strength of the local market,” said Patrick Barnes, principal at Avison Young, which represented Yamaha in the sale, according to the business journal.

“In the years ahead, we expect the community to benefit from greater economic activity for nearby businesses and the continuation of Cypress’s long history of corporate investment.”
