Introduction to AltaSea<\/h2>\n

AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles is welcoming an underwater robotics giant to its research and development hub.
\n
\nAltaSea, which seeks to provide space to foster research and development for the so-called \u201cblue economy,\u201d opened its Center for Innovation at the Port of Los Angeles last year. Blue Robotics has signed a 10-year, 49,000-square-foot lease to bring its headquarters and production facility to AltaSea\u2019s 35-acre campus, AltaSea announced in a statement.<\/p>\n

The New Lease<\/h2>\n

To prepare for Blue Robotics\u2019 landing, AltaSea will begin performing renovations on the new space early next year with a grand opening planned for the end of next year. \u201cThe move to AltaSea provides Blue Robotics with direct access to the ocean for testing and development of advanced marine robotics systems, as well as opportunities to collaborate with a dynamic community of innovative ocean technology companies at AltaSea,\u201d AltaSea president and CEO Terry Tamminen said.<\/p>\n

Current Tenants and Operations<\/h2>\n

Other tenants at AltaSea include Braid Theory, another marine robotics company; wave energy technology firm Eco Wave Power; and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which uses its lab to monitor and collect data on commercial fisheries. Blue Robotics will make full use of the 49,000 square feet with its research and development operations as well as assembly and production of its marine robotics products. With proximity to the ocean near one of the busiest container ports in North America, Blue Robotics employees will be able to dunk its products in the water for testing, demonstration, and development.<\/p>\n

Impact and Significance<\/h2>\n

Los Angeles City Council member Tim McOsker, who formerly served as CEO of AltaSea, noted that \u201ca nearly fifty-thousand-square-foot lease is significant anywhere and at any time.\u201d The deal with Blue Robotics marks one of the largest single leases in AltaSea\u2019s history. Blue Robotics\u2019 forthcoming presence at AltaSea\u2019s Center for Innovation brings occupancy at the site to 85 percent.<\/p>\n

Recent Developments and Infrastructure<\/h2>\n

The move comes after the Port of Los Angeles\u2019 Board of Harbor Commissioners unanimously approved an amendment to AltaSea\u2019s own lease earlier this month. Those changes will help provide critical infrastructure at the site as well as provide reimbursements for the company from the Port of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

The signing of Blue Robotics to a 10-year lease at AltaSea marks a significant milestone for the "blue economy" hub at the Port of Los Angeles. With its new headquarters and production facility, Blue Robotics will be able to leverage the proximity to the ocean for testing and development of its marine robotics products, contributing to the growth and innovation of the sector.<\/p>\n
