A major nonprofit serving people with developmental disabilities is doubling down on Chatsworth, expanding its headquarters at 9200 Oakdale Avenue and turning a quiet lease renewal into one of the biggest office moves the San Fernando Valley has seen this year. The deal pulls more of the North Los Angeles County Regional Center’s operations into the West Valley Corporate Center campus and boosts the agency’s visibility along a key Valley business corridor, where local staff and service providers will continue to operate as plans for the coming fiscal year roll out.
According to CoStar, the North Los Angeles County Regional Center is growing its Chatsworth headquarters footprint at 9200 Oakdale Avenue in a transaction that ranks as the fourth-largest office deal in Los Angeles County over the past two years.
The regional center, which contracts with the California Department of Developmental Services, coordinates services for people with developmental disabilities across the San Fernando, Santa Clarita, and Antelope valleys. According to the North Los Angeles County Regional Center, the organization lists its main office at 9200 Oakdale and serves more than 28,000 consumers and family members.
About the property
The building, marketed as West Valley Corporate Center at 9200 Oakdale Avenue, is listed by JLL as available for lease in blocks, with brokers shown as handling the campus. JLL’s listing highlights available suites and lists contact brokers Jim Lindvall and Dan Sanchez. Public offering and loan documents describe the complex as roughly a 258,467-square-foot Class A office campus and show the North Los Angeles County Regional Center occupying a substantial portion of that space, according to federal filings.
Who handled the deal
Industry reporting credits a tag team of Newmark and JLL brokers on the transaction, naming Newmark’s Ron Burkhardt, Suzanne Lee, and Bill Fishel, and JLL’s Jim Lindvall and Chloe Sanchez as key players in the negotiations. CoStar first reported those brokerage details.
Why it matters to Chatsworth
A large, long-term lease by a public-facing nonprofit can help steady occupancy at a suburban office campus and support local jobs tied to administration and service delivery, even when private-sector tenants are slower to expand. In other words, this is the kind of boring-on-paper deal that quietly keeps an office park humming.
Board materials from the North Los Angeles County Regional Center over the last year have included lease and budget items tied to its Oakdale offices as part of fiscal planning, which makes this expansion look less like a surprise grab and more like a planned piece of the agency’s broader operational strategy.
The Chatsworth transaction also stands out as a clear example of non-commercial demand in the Valley office market: a government-contracted nonprofit locking up a big block of space for service delivery rather than for a corporate headquarters or a traditional private-sector growth story. Public records and commercial listings carry additional details on square footage and lease specifics for readers who want to dig deeper into the fine print.
