Historic Lockheed Facility
Former aerospace manufacturing facility that represents Sunnyvale's transition from agriculture to high technology.
The Lockheed facility, established in 1956, marked Sunnyvale's transformation from an agricultural community to a center of aerospace and technology innovation. This facility was part of Lockheed's expansion during the Cold War era, producing components for military and space programs. The presence of Lockheed and other technology companies laid the groundwork for what would become Silicon Valley.
This site represents the beginning of Sunnyvale's evolution into a technology hub and its role in America's aerospace industry.
Converted to mixed-use development with heritage markers and preserved architectural elements.
