Austin’s Apple campus rounds out

AUSTIN – Apple Inc.’s expansion in Northwest Austin with the company’s new Americas Operations Center is well underway, with a minimum of $27 million already invested in the project. In December 2012, Apple broke ground on the 39-acre campus.

The Calif.-based technology company has been issued temporary certificates of occupancy for two buildings totaling 290,000 sf. Another four buildings are in early stages of permitting review, totaling 513,000 sf.

Two parking garages and two additional buildings are also planned. In March 2012, Apple said it would invest at least $282 million and bring 3,635 jobs to Austin as it establishes its Americas Operations Center.

The deal was divided into two phases: in the first Apple was to invest $56.5 million to construct the new facilities, and in the second phase the technology company was to invest an additional $226 million for a further build out. The first phase sets an end date as December 2015.
