Congratulations to the Top 23 Power Brokers!
The Santa Clarita Valley Economic Development Corporation (SCVEDC) invests not just in growing our local businesses, but also in attracting great companies to the region, with a focus on industries that provide residents with high-quality, high-paying jobs.
Bringing businesses to our community takes a combined effort from SCVEDC, our public and private partners, and the dedicated commercial real estate professionals who help companies find the right location to grow. Each year, SCVEDC recognizes the top commercial real estate brokers active in the Santa Clarita Valley whose transactions and client work contribute to the region’s economic momentum. At the annual Power Broker Breakfast each June, brokers, civic leaders, and community representatives come together to celebrate the dealmakers who are shaping the SCV business landscape.
The Power Brokers of 2025 represent 23 brokers across 7 commercial real estate companies, both based in and outside the Santa Clarita Valley, that completed transactions in the SCV. Together, this year’s top brokers completed 375 transactions totaling more than 4 million square feet across industrial, office, retail, land, and other activity. Their work reflects the continued role commercial real estate plays in business attraction, retention, expansion, and long-term investment in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Those numbers emphasize the continued importance of commercial real estate to the SCV economy. After several years of strong growth, the market entered a period of adjustment, but activity continued to increase across sectors. Industrial leasing remained active in 2025 even as new space came online, while office activity showed signs of progress as companies continued making decisions about how and where they work.
This increased availability is important. For companies looking to expand, relocate, right-size, or plan for future growth, the market now offers more flexibility than it has in recent years. For brokers and site selectors, that means more opportunities to match business needs with available space, workforce access, infrastructure, timing, and long-term growth potential.
SCVEDC is also proud to recognize Boston Scientific as its 2025 Transaction of the Year. The company’s continued investment in the Santa Clarita Valley supports the retention of approximately 650 high-quality life science and medical technology jobs in the region. Boston Scientific’s planned transition from its long-time location in the Southern California Innovation Park to the Entertainment Drive building, originally developed as Scorpion’s headquarters, represents a major business retention win for the region.
Scorpion also continues to maintain a strong presence in the SCV business community, making this story a broader reminder that the Valley remains a place where innovative companies can adapt, grow, and stay connected to the region.
This transaction reflects the kind of business retention outcome that is central to SCVEDC’s mission. Retaining an employer of this scale helps preserve specialized jobs, supports the region’s life science and medical device cluster, and reinforces the Santa Clarita Valley’s position as a competitive location for companies that depend on talent, infrastructure, quality of life, and access to the broader Southern California market.
That is where SCVEDC and the brokerage community are natural partners. From co-marketing and economic data to incentives guidance, permitting assistance, workforce connections, regional contacts, and site selection support, SCVEDC serves as a one-stop resource for brokers, business owners, and site selectors.
SCVEDC’s free Site Selection Tool allows users to search available facilities for lease or sale, while the Broker Portal provides downloadable resources including the Economic Outlook Book, Quarterly Economic Snapshot, business park and development information, SCV Quick Facts, demographics, incentives, maps, and workforce data.
In a market where businesses have had more choices in recent years, the role of commercial brokers becomes even more valuable. Their expertise helps companies evaluate not only available space, but also workforce access, timing, infrastructure, and long-term fit. By working alongside brokers, property owners, local government, and regional partners, SCVEDC helps companies move projects forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Congratulations to all of the 2025 Power Brokers for another successful year! Your expertise, relationships, and commitment to the Santa Clarita Valley continue to help companies find the right place to grow, support quality job creation, and strengthen the region’s long-term economic competitiveness.
