the factories were much too big for the production floor space in use.

I just started doing work for a company like this. They moved from their previous facility because they obtained a very favorable lease.

Yeah, that possibility occured to me as well: maybe they got a fantastic deal on a huge facility, and were expecting to grow.

The Beacon facility looked brand-new; I'm not sure about the Solyndra location.

I personally know of a huge vacant factory in upstate NY that's vacant. I'll bet it could be had for a song. The local "Industrial Development Authority" is trying to find someone to move in.

Maybe that's the explanation. For both.

One too many instances of the word "vacant" in there, sorry. Should have proofread before hitting Post for the second time.
