Palmer Luckey<\/a>\u2019s Anduril Industries is growing its presence in Southern California with a second major campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Costa Mesa-headquartered<\/a> aerospace and defense company announced<\/a> plans to expand<\/a> by nearly 1.2 million square feet across six buildings in Long Beach near the city\u2019s airport, the Los Angeles Times reported. Anduril has leased more than 1 million square feet of land from developer Sares Regis Group, which will build the new campus, according to the Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anduril\u2019s second home will be built at Douglas Park, an industrial and office complex near Long Beach Airport<\/a> with a history of aerospace manufacturing. The new development will include 750,000 square feet of offices and 435,000 square feet of industrial space dedicated to research and development. When complete, the campus will support about 5,500 jobs on site. Anduril has about 7,000 employees in 35 different locations, including international offices; approximately half of its employees are based in Southern California.<\/p>\n

Long Beach has been at the center of defense industry innovation over the past century. The World War II-era B-17 bomber and more recent C-17 Globemaster III are among those that have been built in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a big history of building complex aircraft here, and we see this as an additional step toward building the next generation of aircraft and technology,\u201d Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson said of Anduril\u2019s new local operations, saying the city has \u201cbecome one of the fastest-growing aerospace clusters in America\u201d in recent years. Other new tenants that have moved into Long Beach include spacecraft company Rocket Lab, space station builder Vast and aviation startup JetZero. \u201cYou can liken them to the next generation of the Boeings and the Northrup Grummans,\u201d Richardson said of new aerospace companies in Long Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> welcomed Anduril\u2019s growth into the seaside city. \u201cAnduril\u2019s world-class innovation and deep California roots are helping shape the next generation of America\u2019s aerospace and defense industry. With this major investment, they are reinforcing California\u2019s leadership in this critical sector, creating good-paying jobs and strengthening the state\u2019s innovation ecosystem,\u201d Newsom said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anduril\u2019s Long Beach outpost is expected to be ready for move-in in mid-2027.<\/p>\n
