Google Inc. (GOOG) has announced its decision
to lease the Moffet Federal Airfield and Hangar One from National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The purchase is a part
of its plan to achieve worldwide dominance.
Reportedly, Google’s real-estate subdivision Planetary Ventures LLC
will be in charge of revamping Hangar One at Moffett Field and gain
control of the two runways at the airfield.
As per the agreement, Google has decided to restore the three
hangars, including Hangar One, and take over maintenance of other
buildings on the airfield. It also plans to create an educational
and public use facility and maintain the Moffett Field itself.
The Moffett Field is a joint civil-military airport located between
northern Mountain View and northern Sunnyvale, CA. The most famous
and visible sites on the field are Hangars One, Two and Three,
which dwarf the surrounding buildings.
Hangar One, built in 1932, is one of the world's largest
self-supporting structures covering 8 acres. It is one of the most
noticeable landmarks in California's Silicon Valley. NASA’s Ames
Research Center purchased the Airfield and Hangar One in 1994. Just
a few years ago, the Navy peeled off the structures that were
leaking the poisonous chemicals leaving its skeleton vacant in the
airfield.
In 2012, Google offered to renovate the structure in exchange of
using it to house eight of the company's private jets. But NASA
turned down the proposal at the time.
With this deal, NASA has thus secured the Hangar’s future.
Google, the world's largest online search engine, is increasingly
extending its foothold into new markets and currently holds a Zacks
Rank #3 (Hold).
Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AKAM),
Interxion Holding NV (INXN) and Baidu,
Inc. (BIDU), all carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy),
are better-ranked stocks from the same sector and therefore worth
considering.
