OpenAI Leases Richmond Site For Robotics
OpenAI signed a lease on a 202,000-square-foot waterfront site at Richmond's Portside Commerce Center on March 31, 2026, marking its first East Bay expansion and a likely hub for robotics manufacturing. The 15.75-acre site near the ferry terminal offers over 14,000-amp power capacity, the San Francisco Business Times and Chronicle report, and OpenAI has posted related job listings while expanding elsewhere in Mission Bay and Mountain View.
Scoring Rationale
Notable company expansion with concrete property details and high-power infrastructure; scores well on relevance and scope. Reduced slightly for limited official confirmation and shallow technical detail in reporting.
