Delivering Containers Across Irvine and Orange County
Container One delivers to Irvine and all surrounding communities including Tustin, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Mission Viejo, Santa Ana, Aliso Viejo, and the broader Orange County market.
Biotech, Life Sciences, and the Irvine Research Campus: The Irvine Spectrum and Irvine Business Complex form one of the most significant biotech and life sciences clusters on the West Coast. Edwards Lifesciences — headquartered in Irvine — is one of the world's leading medical device companies. Masimo, Acadia Pharmaceuticals, Evolent Health, and dozens of clinical-stage biotech firms with Irvine headquarters or major operations create a specialized container demand profile unlike anywhere in Orange County. These companies and their clinical research organizations, construction contractors, and supply chain partners use containers for clinical trial supply staging, pharmaceutical cold chain management, lab equipment storage during facility moves, and contractor staging at active campus expansion projects. The ongoing buildout of the UCI Research Park and the continuous expansion of biotech campuses across the Irvine Spectrum makes construction contractor container demand high year-round.
UC Irvine and California ADU Market: UC Irvine — with 36,000 students, a growing School of Medicine, and a major health system — has been in continuous expansion for years. Campus construction contractors regularly source containers for job-site storage and mobile site offices at active UCI construction projects. The UCI Health system, including UCI Medical Center in Orange, drives healthcare supply chain and campus construction container demand across the broader Orange County market. California's ADU legislation has made Irvine one of the most active residential container markets in the state — Orange County's premium rental rates mean backyard ADU units command top dollar, and container-based ADU builds are increasingly popular in Irvine's master-planned communities where Homeowners Association rules and lot setbacks allow.
