Boeing's Space Race Sparks 16,000-SF Lease Expansion

HOUSTON-The Boeing Co., prime contractor on the International Space Station Program, has just leased 16,000 sf of office space to add to its 30,600 sf in the four-building Armand Plaza, near NASA headquarters in Clear Lake, just south of Houston.

The Houston facility seems to grow as the space station does. There is little doubt that Boeing will eventually take over the entire 64,000 sf of the Armand Plaza complex, owned by Koll Bren Schreiber. There’s only 17,400 sf left.

Houston is Boeing’s international space station headquarters. Houston teams design, develop, integrate, test and deliver the US-built elements, including: US Laboratory interconnecting nodes and structures, the power system data management system, environmental control and life support systems, plus other critical hardware and software. “This is one of the most complex and challenging projects ever undertaken,” Boeing chairman and CEO Phil Condit says.
