Iteris Inc. plans to move its current Santa Ana operations to new office and industrial spaces in Irvine. The transition is scheduled for completion in the early second half of 2027.
Why it matters
The relocation reflects the company's long-term commitment to maintaining a strong presence in Orange County. It also highlights the business's expectations for future growth following its 2024 acquisition by Almaviva.
The firm currently employs 110 people in Santa Ana and was ranked the ninth-largest telecommunications and wireless company in Orange County in 2026. Its new manufacturing and product development site will occupy 65,000 square feet on Waterworks Way.
The players
Iteris Inc.
This technology company specializes in smart mobility infrastructure management and maintains its corporate headquarters in Austin, Texas.
Almaviva
This multinational information technology group acquired Iteris in 2024 and will establish its North American headquarters in Irvine.
The details
The firm will split its regional workforce between a new executive office at the Boardwalk office complex on Jamboree Road and a industrial facility on Waterworks Way. The Boardwalk location will serve as the North American headquarters for Almaviva, which acquired Iteris in 2024.

Market Landscape
This move follows the 2024 acquisition of the firm by Almaviva, signaling a period of structural consolidation for the business. The expansion positions the company to better integrate its regional operations within the competitive Orange County tech sector.
The transition will shift the company's local footprint from Santa Ana to two central locations in Irvine. Employees and clients should prepare for new operational logistics at the Boardwalk and Waterworks Way sites by late 2027.
The takeaway
The move demonstrates how corporate acquisitions often trigger infrastructure consolidation in high-tech hubs like Irvine. Businesses in the area can view this as a standard step toward regional optimization following a change in ownership.
