Pacific Life Will Relocate 450 Employees

Newport Beach-based Pacific Life Insurance Co. is relocating 450 employees, or about 25% of its work force, to Foothill Ranch, the company said Friday. Most of the workers will be transferred from Newport Center, the office buildings that ring Fashion Island. A smaller number will be moved from a Fountain Valley facility, said company spokeswoman Marie Connell. She added that the company has run out of space at its main office at Newport Center, and at other area buildings where it leases space. “We’re bursting at the seams,” Connell said. Beginning in June, employees will move to 26642-26672 Towne Centre Drive in Foothill Ranch.
