Boeing Co. last week broke ground on a new facility in Oklahoma City.
The six-story, 320,000-square-foot facility will support Boeing's B-1 program and its C-130 avionics modernization program, both of which are being relocated from Long Beach, Calif.
Gardner Tanenbaum Group, an Oklahoma City-based commercial real estate company, is designing and building the new facility on the site of an existing Boeing building. Boeing is leasing both facilities.
Operated by Boeing's Global Services & Support division, a unit of Boeing Defense, Space & Security, the Oklahoma City site focuses on engineering, contractor logistics services and field support.
Boeing employs approximately 700 people at the site as well as nearby Tinker Air Force Base.
