ARLINGTON, Texas — Arlington officially cemented its position as a burgeoning hub for global aerospace and telecommunications on Friday, October 3, 2025, as community and state leaders gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of the E-Space North American Headquarters and Airport Development Project.
This massive undertaking will house the global telecommunications and satellite manufacturing company’s new North American operations and is estimated to be completed in Spring 2027.
Project Scope and Regional Impact
The development is centered around a sprawling 480,000-square-foot manufacturing and office facility. In addition to corporate space, the project includes extensive parking, an aircraft apron, and a specialized 33,450-square-foot hangar. Crucially, the plan incorporates key public infrastructure improvements, including a new airport access road designed to enhance connectivity to the future MLK Drive, strategically maximizing the project’s potential economic impact.
Arlington Mayor Jim Ross praised the collaborative nature of the deal. “This is an example that in Arlington, we build for the future,” Mayor Ross stated. “It’s important that when you do these projects, you do them with people who get it. With people who understand the importance of community and doing things collaboratively.”
E-Space Founder, CEO, and Chief Architect Greg Wyler highlighted the opportunity being created: “Everybody who contributes, contributes meaningfully to what we’re doing, and we’re creating a piece of that American Dream for everyone who comes here.” The new facility will create an array of technical positions, including manufacturing, engineering, and electrical jobs.
Economic Benefits Solidify Arlington as an Aerospace Hub
This deal is a transformative win for the city and the entire Tarrant County region. Over a 30-year period, the E-Space North American HQ project is projected to:
- Create over 2,000 high-wage, high-tech jobs.
- Generate approximately $8 billion in salaries for local workers.
- Produce $27 million in net benefits for the City of Arlington, Tarrant County, and the Arlington Independent School District (AISD).
This level of investment positions Arlington as a major center for aerospace research and development, diversifying the regional economy and attracting a highly skilled workforce. The city facilitated the project through the Arlington Economic Development Corporation (EDC), which will develop and own the industrial real estate assets. This model ensures the creation of community wealth by having the EDC lease the factory and office space to E-Space, keeping the assets locally controlled.
