Space exploration company SpaceX is planning a $100 million expansion of its office and industrial factory at its Starbase launch facility in Boca Chica Beach, Texas.
This expansion project named “SpaceX Starbase Office” will be located at 52190 San Martin Blvd. in Brownsville based on the licensing and regulations record found by Valleycentral.
The project aims to expand operation capacity to approximately 1 million-square-foot and the estimated cost of expansion is $100 million. SpaceX started working on this matter project at the registered date of February 23 and it is expected to complete by January 2025.
SpaceX’s Boca Chica launch site is well known for launch sighting and it’s publically accessible compared to other launch sites. The company also dedicated the launch pad for Starship, the world’s largest space rocket and spacecraft.
The location is also suitable for any launches due to the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico which offers a clear flight path for launch schedules without overflying populated areas.
