Viavi Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: VIAV) (“VIAVI”), a global leader in network testing and optical technologies, has leased 15,000 square feet of office space in Chandler’s Price Corridor. The office building is located within the Allred Park Place development at 1445 S. Spectrum Blvd.
In February 2021, VIAVI announced Chandler was selected for a new advanced manufacturing operation and the relocation of their corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley. VIAVI purchased a 104,000-square-foot industrial building at 3455 S. McQueen Road, where it planned to co-locate its headquarters within the same facility, but recently determined that it needed additional space. The two facilities are separated by only a few miles, with the new office in Chandler’s Price Corridor and manufacturing operation in the Airpark Area.
Combined, the headquarters and manufacturing operations are expected to support 230 jobs. The company has more than 3,600 employees across 22 countries. Since moving its headquarters in 2021, VIAVI has actively contributed to the economic and technological communities in Arizona, including the establishment of a scholarship at the University of Arizona Wyant College of Optical Sciences, creating opportunities for current and future professionals.
"We are excited about this office lease and expect that VIAVI will continue to expand within Chandler in the years ahead," stated Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke. "VIAVI is a world-class advanced manufacturer that is a great fit for Chandler’s highly educated workforce. We appreciate the company’s investment and the high-paying jobs they are bringing to our community."
