Yamaha Lists 25-Acre Cypress Headquarters
Yamaha Motor Corporation USA, the American arm of Tokyo-based Yamaha Motor Co., is selling its 25-acre Cypress headquarters.
The sale is part of the relocation of Yamaha's U.S. group to Kennesaw, Georgia. The relocation will take place from the end of 2026 until the end of 2028, the manufacturer announced at the end of February.
This is the last phase of a move that has taken place in phases since 1999, when the company's marine business relocated to Kennesaw. Its motorsports business followed in 2019.
The only workers left at the Cypress facility were corporate and financial services employees.
The property at 6555 Katella Ave. has been the U.S. headquarters of the company for nearly five decades.
An Avison Young team led by Patrick Barnes and Paul Clark is marketing the property as an investment and redevelopment opportunity. There is no starting price listed. The property is “being marketed on a best offer basis,” according to a release from AY.
Yamaha intends to lease back the entire property through Dec. 31, 2028, allowing a buyer to maintain cash flow during the transitional period.
The site includes three buildings — one industrial, one flex and one office — totaling approximately 279K SF on an entire city block with three points of access from Katella Avenue, Holder Street and Yamaha Way.
“This offering provides investors and developers the ability to control a significant infill site in one of the most historically supply‑constrained industrial markets in the county,” Barnes said in a statement.
