Apple Picks Up More Than 1 Million SF in Sunnyvale

Technology giant Apple has made moves in Sunnyvale, CA, picking up more than 1 million square feet of new office space that could accommodate as many as 5,000 employees. As the company continues to outgrow its space in Cupertino, Apple continues to lease new space and has, so far, agreed to lease a total of 1.2 million square feet in Sunnyvale according to city records and real estate brokers involved in the deals.

"It's a remarkable growth spurt for Apple," said Jim Beeger, senior vice president with Colliers International, a commercial realty brokerage, in a San Jose Mercury News article. "This is a 30-year-old company undergoing the type of explosive expansion that you see with a three-year-old startup."

"Cupertino is pretty much filled up because of Apple's growth, much like Mountain View is pretty much filled up because of Google," said Phil Mahoney, an executive vice president with realty firm Cornish & Carey Newmark Knight Frank. "Both Google and Apple need more room. Both of them decided to find space in Sunnyvale."

"As I look at my iPad and check my iPhone, it really strikes me how much Apple has been able to achieve and how they have remade themselves," said Reed Payne, an executive vice president with Kidder Mathews, a commercial realty firm. "The future is not only bright for Apple, but the future bodes well for all of Silicon Valley."
