Santa Ana Welcomes Anduril Industries: A Major Expansion!

Exciting news is buzzing around Santa Ana, California, as Anduril Industries has just announced they’re leasing a whopping 313,244 square feet of warehouse space at the Lake Center Office Park. This fresh move takes Anduril’s footprint in Orange County to an impressive 1.1 million square feet. That’s quite a lot of space for growth!

What’s Happening at Lake Center?

To paint a picture, the Lake Center complex was formerly an office building owned by C.J. Segerstrom & Sons. The site saw a major transformation, having been demolished and now being redeveloped specifically for manufacturing and warehousing. The city of Santa Ana gave a green light to this redevelopment, which comes with an estimated price tag of $126 million. Talk about a serious investment in infrastructure!

Introducing the South Coast Technology Center

The new facility will proudly bear the name South Coast Technology Center. This impressive complex will consist of three class A industrial flex buildings, bringing together all those square feet into a productive synergy. With a design that includes not just office spaces but also research and development facilities, the hopes are high for what this center could mean for industrial activities in the area.

Enhancing the Community

What’s more exciting is how the development plans go beyond just industrial needs. There’s a thoughtful focus on community with the inclusion of outdoor patios, lovely landscaping, and electric vehicle charging stations. Plus, don’t forget the charming community park and street improvements that will enhance the overall environment for everyone who lives and works in the area.

A Bit of Anduril’s Background

For those not familiar with Anduril Industries, the company burst onto the scene in 2017 and began its journey from a modest space near John Wayne Airport. Fast forward to 2022, Anduril made quite the stride by relocating to a new facility known as The Press, which used to be the Los Angeles Times printing plant in Costa Mesa, boasting 640,000 square feet of leased space. Furthermore, Anduril also holds another lease for 72,000 square feet at the Shea Business Center, an extensive industrial development in Santa Ana.

Anduril’s Broader Ambitions

But that’s not all! Anduril is not just stacking up square footage on the West Coast. They are ambitiously constructing a massive 5-million-square-foot manufacturing facility near Columbus, Ohio, which is slated to kick off production in 2026. That’s a serious commitment to advancing manufacturing capabilities!

Looking Ahead

Anduril’s production sites span across the country and even venture abroad. They have a solid rocket motor factory in Mississippi, a robotic submarine facility in Rhode Island, and manufacturing plants in Georgia and Australia. The new South Coast Technology Center is expected to support a range of light industrial activities, allowing for corporate offices, research, development, and manufacturing to flourish in a high-tech setting.

Community Ties

The Segerstrom family, owners of the site, are deeply embedded in the community, also managing the renowned South Coast Plaza shopping center and several notable office towers. It’s all part of an effort to transform Santa Ana into a business hub that attracts cutting-edge industries.

In conclusion, this expansion by Anduril Industries at the Lake Center Office Park is poised to infuse a ton of energy and potential into Santa Ana. With innovative plans and a strong commitment to community, it’s clear that exciting times are ahead for this vibrant city!
