Disney Acquires Former Yamaha HQ in Cypress for $115M to Support Back-of-House Operations
Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. Inc. purchased the 25-acre former Yamaha Motor Corp. USA headquarters in Cypress, California, for $115.29 million. The deal, which closed on Sept. 23, 2026, secures a major industrial and office complex just seven miles from the Disneyland Resort. Disney intends to use the site for non-guest-facing 'back-of-house' operations, such as laundry and costuming, rather than building a new theme park. Yamaha, which occupied the site since 1979, is relocating its U.S. headquarters to Kennesaw, Georgia, and will lease the property back from Disney through Dec. 31, 2028.
