The subcontractor retained 3.3 acres and agreed to lease back the facility from Los Angeles-based R&H Investments for 10 years. "It was just a unique situation," says Kimberly Campbell, a vice president with Spacehab, "and we were happy to do it." She tells GlobeSt.com that the company had been a tenant in the facility at 12130 Highway 3 for three years when it heard that the building was for sale.
