Apple today has shared an updated official aerial shot of construction progress on its Campus 2 facility set to be complete by the end of 2016. The new shot, posted to the City of Cupertino’s website, provides a different angle and wider view of the surrounding campus compared to the last aerial photo from earlier this month.
Things haven’t changed, however, for Apple’s general project schedule with street utilities and demolition work expected to finish this year, earthwork continuing into early 2015, and building construction into late 2016:
The City of Cupertino maintains a frequently updated page on its website that includes construction and traffic updates related to Apple’s Campus 2 project for locals.
While Apple has reportedly been opening a number of satellite offices, the new 176 acre Campus 2 is expected to host 12,000 employees in 2.8M square feet when it’s completed by the end of 2016. Apple’s latest offices outside Cupertino include relatively small offices in Sweden, Seattle, and Cambridge, England.
If you want a closer look: earlier this month we posted a drone flyover video of the Campus 2 site that gets you much closer to the structure and surrounding campus than Apple’s own photos.

How about some shots of the nice green grass that Apple has put in, and some shots of residents removing their grass because of the drought that’s hit that state?
There’s no nice green grass… The plants and trees are supposed to be indigenous from what I read.
I recall hearing something about digging out the vegetation, storing it somewhere nice and cosy, then planting it back where it came from when construction comes to an end.
How about a comment from you that actually makes any sense?
Even in the virtual tour of the grounds, there is no “nice” green grass. It’ll all be field grass that naturally grows in the area, which is brown (dormant) most of the year but turns green when it rains.
I grew up in Fremont and was always amazed when the foothills would change from their usual brown to a vivid green after a good rain storm.
How bout being less of A DOUCHE and actually reading up on what is being done or STFU?!
But yeah, I’m totally sure that YOU don’t water your lawn daily in the scorching sun?? You’re one of the TWO Americans that actually gives a flying f***, right??
Riiiiiiiiight… you brainless hypocrite.
Original HP Campus was 90% asphalt to 10% landscaping ratio. Apple HQ Campus will be nearly the opposite of that. New California native selection of vegetation, trees, etc are being selected & grown by arborist to be ready to plant when building is finished on exterior.
That’s no campus…it’s a space station! Turn the drone around.
