E-Space nears deal for 750k square foot HQ in Arlington

E-Space is getting ready to pack its bags and head to Dallas-Fort Worth, joining a long list of companies to have planted a flag in the region in recent years.

The satellite communications company is on the brink of obtaining approval from Arlington City Council to develop a 750,000-square-foot facility, serving as a manufacturing plant and its U.S. headquarters, Bisnow reported, citing the Fort Worth Report. 

E-Space is expected to enter a public-private partnership with Arlington, facilitated by the city’s economic development corporation. This partnership would provide up to $50 million in municipal bond proceeds to aid in the development. Upon completion, the city would lease the facility to E-Space at a base rent of $2 million annually.

The project is projected to generate over 3,000 jobs and contribute more than $8 billion in taxable wages over its 30-year lease term. Following this period, E-Space would have the option to renew the lease, with a 3 percent rent increase every five years.

The initial phase of construction is slated for completion by late 2026. In the interim, E-Space intends to lease an existing building in Arlington — situated between Dallas and Fort Worth — to commence its North Texas operations and workforce development.
