City Overview
The city profile for Torrance has gained new energy in the past couple years from space, defense and advanced manufacturing, with over 700,000 SF leased in the past year—a notable bright spot in this market.
City of Torrance Geography
The South Bay office market spans several key cities, with Torrance/Redondo Beach at the southern end and Manhattan Beach/El Segundo (the LAX Area) at the north end. The LAX Area which covers approximately 10 square miles, has seen rapid development and strong leasing demand. This growth is fueled by industries like entertainment, technology, media, software, private equity and financial services.
Torrance and Redondo Beach Office Space
By contrast, Torrance and Redondo Beach offer a less expensive option for renting office space across a 25 square-mile area. Class A office space is limited, but there are a few high-quality buildings in the financial district on Hawthorne Boulevard and also along the 190th Street corridor. These premium offices typically lease for around $3.25 per square foot or more.
Why Torrance Stands Out: Location and Major Employers
Torrance is located about 10 miles south of LAX. It remains a strategic business hub as the southernmost coastal cities of Los Angeles County. Alongside major companies and headquarters, Torrance is increasingly being shaped into a new “production center” for the new generation of defense/space companies. These include:
-
Toyota Finance
-
GITAI (space robotics)
-
Epirus, Inc.
-
A2Z Drone Delivery
-
Skechers
-
Moog Aircraft Group

AnySignal (space communications)
-
Northwood Space

Other advanced manufacturing newcomers are Moog, Epirus, Intellisense, Mercury, Stellant, Honeywell and 3DEO.

Torrance Office Market
Unlike the LAX office market, which has faced challenges from slowdowns in tech, media, and entertainment, Torrance remains steady thanks to its diverse mix of traditional industries and large uptick in robotics, aerospace, drone, satelite, defence and advanced manufacturing tenants.. Office rents in Torrance are typically $1.25 or more per square foot lower than similar Class A or B+ properties in the LAX Area, making it a strong value play for tenants.
