Space firms dig into real estate in 1972 venture
Boeing and McDonnell Douglas turn surplus aerospace land into real estate ventures. Boeing leased 100000 acres in Oregon in 1963 for engine testing but later pursued development at Boardman, including irrigation, grazing, and plans for processing plants, a waste‑recovery site, and future industrial growth. McDonnell Douglas formed Douglas Development Co. to convert 50.3 acres near Orange County Airport into a luxury hotel and shopping center, with possible redevelopment of its Santa Monica plant site into a golf course or hotel complex.
