California Forever developers intend to build Solano Foundry, a 2,100-acre, 40 million-square-foot mega-campus in Solano County, in the eastern Bay Area. The park will allow companies to have both R&D and manufacturing facilities on the same campus, accelerating product development cycles. Construction is projected to begin in 2028 and expected to span the next four decades.

The project’s mission and rationale is to help California reclaim its position as a leader in high-tech manufacturing. However, challenges such as the state’s stringent real estate entitlement and development regulations, as well as a persistent shortage of affordable housing, limit the scalability and accessibility of innovation hubs.
