Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., the aerospace arm of Westminster-based metal-packaging manufacturer Ball Corp. (NYSE: BLL), is considering a major expansion to its aerospace operations in Boulder.
Late last year, the firm submitted to city planners documents that show Ball’s intent to build three new buildings at its 1600 Commerce St. campus that would add 375,000 square feet on the roughly 27-acre site.
“The company’s ability to expand operations on the Boulder campus in order to increase aerospace production and testing capabilities will help determine the future of Ball Aerospace in Boulder,” the company wrote in a pre-development application review memo.
Ball, representatives of which did not reply to requests for comment Thursday, has operated in Boulder since 1956 and has since spread operations to surrounding communities with cheaper, more-plentiful land for expansion.
In 2019, Ball broke ground on a new four-building, 186,000-square-foot Westminster headquarters located at the existing site of Ball’s Packaging Office Center at 9343 W. 108th Circle in Westminster.
The same year, the firm unveiled plans to add 137,000 square feet of office and research and development space to Ball’s existing roughly 121,000-square-foot Broomfield R&D operation on 10 Longs Peak Drive.
In addition to the three new buildings — one of which would total 295,000 square feet and the two others 40,000 square feet each — proposed at Ball’s Boulder campus, the firm wants to build a new 850-square-foot parking garage and a sky bridge over Commerce Street.
The proposed buildings are planned to be taller than 55 feet and with a floor-to-area ratio greater than is allowed under current zoning regulations, planning documents show.
It’s unclear when Ball hopes to break ground on the expansion. Representatives did not respond to requests for comment, and a site review for the project has yet to appear on a Boulder Planning Board agenda.
