Anduril leases another 134,000 sq ft in Tustin as it ramps up production
Anduril is expanding its warehouse footprint in Orange County, leasing 134,000 more square feet in Tustin to support its growing operations as it builds major new facilities elsewhere.
What happened
Anduril Industries signed a lease for 134,000 square feet of industrial warehouse space at LogistiCenter at 55 in Tustin, California, starting January 30, 2027, for a four-year-plus term. This expands the company's presence at the site to about 312,000 square feet, following an earlier 178,000-square-foot lease signed in April 2026. The new facility includes 36-foot ceilings and 22 loading dock doors, serving as a centralized warehouse for Anduril's nearby headquarters campus and other properties in Orange County.
The lease is one of several major real-estate moves Anduril has made as it scales production. The company now occupies about 1.8 million square feet across Orange County, including space at The Hive and Harbor Logistics Center. Outside the county, Anduril is constructing a 1.2-million-square-foot complex in Long Beach expected to open mid-2027 with 5,500 employees, and a weapons manufacturing plant in Columbus, Ohio, planned to eventually span 5 million square feet with 4,000 workers at a cost of about $2 billion.
Background
Anduril Industries, founded in 2017 by Palmer Luckey and others, is a defense-technology company based in Costa Mesa, California. Its core product is Lattice, a command-and-control software platform used by U.S. military customers. The company makes autonomous drones, cruise missiles, and other weapons systems. Anduril has been one of the fastest-growing defense contractors, winning major Pentagon contracts and expanding its manufacturing footprint as U.S. military demand for advanced systems grows, particularly in response to potential threats from China.
What to watch next
The Tustin lease begins January 30, 2027. The Long Beach facility is expected to open mid-2027. No announcements yet on when the Ohio plant will begin operations.
