Item 2. Properties
Our corporate headquarters are located in Santa Cruz, California, and consist of approximately 162,000 square feet. We operate primarily out of facilities located in the U.S., in Santa Cruz, San Carlos and Marina, California, Washington, D.C. and internationally in Munich and Stuttgart, Germany, Linz, Austria, San Jose, Costa Rica, and Shenzhen, China. All of our facilities, except for the newly-purchased corporate headquarters, are located on land that is leased from third parties or, in the case of certain of our Santa Cruz facilities, from entities partially or wholly owned by our CEO, JoeBen Bevirt.
The facilities that house our prototype production line in Marina, California span approximately 130,000 square feet and are leased from the City of Marina. We have also entered into a ground lease agreement with the City of Marina that can be extended for up to 50 years.
We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.
Our testing facility in Santa Cruz, California is a retired rock quarry. While the nature of this facility is suitable for advanced R&D and testing activities, this facility lacks compliance with applicable building codes, zoning codes and similar regulations and ordinances. We have transitioned most of the research and development work to our facility in Santa Cruz. In addition, we are working with the County of Santa Cruz to bring the site into compliance for our remaining limited testing operations at the facility.
