The 47-acre Rocketdyne site is back on the market, CoStar reports, citing marketing materials. Realty Advisory Group is marketing the site for sale. A list price wasn't included.

The Cold War-era site was once a plant that employed thousands of workers, many of them San Fernando Valley residents, who built rocket engines. The Virginia-based defense company Raytheon Technologies owns the property.

The property could share the neighborhood with a possible Chargers practice facility. Rams owner Stan Kroenke has been collecting land in the neighborhood for about a year, including a large mall site previously owned by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.

The massive property was cleared of buildings in the late 2010s and has been vacant since then. It was once floated as a possible site for Amazon's second headquarters and, before that, slated to become a mixed-use neighborhood.
