SPACEX PLANNING MASSIVE "STARSHIP PARK" & AMENITIES BUILDING AT STARBASE: It looks like Elon Musk's vision for the newly incorporated city of Starbase is taking a major leap forward! 🚀🌳 SpaceX has officially filed permits for a massive $13.8 million development titled "Starship Park" located along State Highway 4.

The project involves the ground-up construction of a 115,000-square-foot site that will feature a "monument park with an adjacent amenities building." The filings specifically list the facility name as "Building 42" a likely nod to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything." This strongly suggests the building will be a highly stylized, futuristic centerpiece rather than a standard municipal building.

This development perfectly aligns with SpaceX's recent push to expand Starbase from just an industrial launch site into a "world-class place to live" for its employees, which was a core argument when the area officially voted to incorporate as a city in May 2025. While the exact nature of the "monument" is unconfirmed, this park and massive Building 42 will likely serve as a central gathering hub, recreation center, or even a public-facing viewing area showcasing historic spacecraft.

Construction is scheduled to begin very soon on February 16, 2026, with a rapid target completion date of August 31, 2026.
