The roughly one-acre site, at 1499 Monrovia Ave., includes a 16,550-square-foot office building, where Road and Track Magazine used to operate. It was sold for $5.8 million, according to (http://www.dailypilot.com/news/tn-dpt-me-0724-kobe-business-20140724,0,3727431.story)Times Community News.
"I am thrilled Mr. Bryant chose Newport Beach," Councilman Keith Curry said.
The office building will be refurbished and remodeled, said Kobe Inc. President Andrea Fairchild, who now also lives in Newport Beach.
"We look to be a very vibrant member of the community," she added.
In addition to its business operations, the company expects to support physical health and wellness in the community, Fairchild said.
Bryant said there could be opportunities for international sports stars to interact with young people in the community, Curry said.
Kobe Inc. was set up in 2013, according to Forbes. The basketball star described the company's mission to the news outlet as "to own and grow brands and ideas that challenge and redefine the sports industry while inspiring the world."
Its first investment was expected to be $4 million to $6 million to support the development of sports drink BodyArmor, Forbes reported.
