Defense technology company Anduril has announced plans for a more than 1-million-square-foot campus just north of Long Beach Airport.<\/a><\/p>\n

The new campus, which will reportedly cost $1 billion<\/a>, is to be located on land within the Douglas Park complex leased from Sares Regis Group. Anduril expects the campus will directly employ roughly 5,500 people, as well as thousands more through indirect jobs.<\/p>\n

The Costa Mesa-based start-up, most recently valued at more than $30 billion, would build approximately 750,000 square feet of offices accompanied by 435,000 square feet of industrial space used for research and development.<\/p>\n

Completion of the campus is expected in mid-2027.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment is a major vote of confidence in Long Beach and California\u2019s leadership in advanced manufacturing and aerospace. A more than one-million-square-foot campus supporting 5,500 new jobs only happens when a city has the workforce, infrastructure, and industrial legacy to support growth at scale,\u201d said Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson in a news release. \u201cLong Beach has long been a naval and manufacturing city, with a history of building complex aircraft. Today, the next generation of companies is choosing to build and hire here again. We are proud to welcome Anduril to Space Beach – one of the fastest-growing aerospace and advanced manufacturing hubs in the country, and we look forward to working with our world-class education and workforce partners to prepare local talent to meet this demand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Douglas Park, which spans more than 200 acres, is part of that legacy – the site was long a manufacturing plant for Boeing.<\/p>\n

Anduril’s Orange County headquarters, which spans more than 600,000 square feet, sits within a former Los Angeles Times printing plant.<\/a><\/p>\n

Other aerospace startups in the Long Beach area include Relativity Space, which announced plans for its own 1-million-square-foot campus on the opposite side of Long Beach Airport in 2021.<\/a><\/p>\n
