Tesla plans $150M battery manufacturing facility in Brookshire

BROOKSHIRE – Tesla plans to invest $150 million in a new Megafactory to manufacture Megapacks.

Tesla already leases approximately one million sf at 111 Empire Blvd. in Stream Realty Partners’ Empire West Business Park.

In Phase 2, Stream Realty will spend $44 million to improve the manufacturing facility at 111 Empire Blvd. for Tesla with electrical capacity and heating and cooling equipment.

Tesla will also spend about $150 million to install manufacturing equipment.

For a future Phase 3, located at 103 Empire Blvd, Stream Realty will build a $31.5 million manufacturing facility, and Tesla will install distribution equipment and make building improvements for an estimated cost of $2 million to $5 million.
