Space Beach Takes Off With Relativity

“Space technology and innovation is our country’s greatest frontier, and Long Beach is at the center of it,” said Mayor Garcia.

On June 29, Relativity Space announced that Long Beach will be the home to their new 1 million square-foot headquarters that will host 2,000 good-paying jobs.

Relativity Space is building the world’s largest 3D printers and is the first company to 3D print an entire rocket. It will be taking over the 93-acres that were formerly Boeing’s C-17 manufacturing plant, and will operate a new headquarters with the capacity to bring more than 2,000 jobs to the Long Beach economy.

The new HQ joins more than two dozen creative aerospace companies in Long Beach, which the mayor noted have been bringing thousands of good jobs and billions of dollars of investment into the city. They include Virgin Orbit, Spin Launch, Boeing, Rocket Lab, SpaceX — and now Relativity’s headquarters.

“The future of our economy is about technology,” said Garcia. “It is about satellites; it is about rockets, and it is about space. Long Beach is at the center of all of that innovation and we are the largest hub on the West Coast for this work. I could not be more proud of the work that is happening here.”
