Offices in Park Setting: A Japanese development company and its American partner said they will build a $40-million office park in Mission Viejo, which they say would be the first campus-type office park in that South County city.

Ohbayashi America Corp., the Los Angeles-based subsidiary of a huge Tokyo contractor, and Huntington Capital Corp., a Huntington Beach developer specializing in suburban office projects, plan to build 237,000 square feet of office space in three buildings at their CentrePointe project at the intersection of Alicia Parkway and Jeronimo Road.

The two companies have worked together before.

The project includes two three-story buildings and one five-story building. The park will be heavily landscaped and the buildings, designed by Langdon Wilson Architecture Planning in Newport Beach, will complement each other.

The companies say the complex will cater to the increasing population in South County and to people’s desire to work closer to home.
