Apple’s building a campus on the East Coast—and spreading out in other places too. Juicy building projects—and jobs are in the near future. Interesting! As you ponder Apple’s growth plan, consider your own. Surety line, anyone?

What’s Apple Building?
A lot! According to Construction Dive:
The Cupertino, California-based tech giant said its U.S. investments will involve more than 9,000 suppliers and companies large and small in all 50 states, supporting job creation across dozens of sectors, including construction, silicon engineering, 5G and manufacturing.
Apple also announced that it will invest over $1 billion in North Carolina, including the construction of a new campus and engineering hub in the Research Triangle area and $110 million in infrastructure improvements in the state including roads, bridges, schools and broadband.
Given the shortage of data storage centers across the country, Apple also plans to create a new data center in Waukee, Iowa. Over 500 construction and operation jobs are anticipated there. Some other highlights of Apple’s building plans include:
- Expansion of the company’s Culver City, California, campus to accommodate more than 3,000 employees by 2026.
- Construction of the company’s $1 billion Austin, Texas, campus…with employees expected to start moving into the new space next year.
- A new $100 million investment to open a state-of-the-art facility and distribution center in Clayton, Indiana, which will be operated by XPO Logistics.
- A new energy storage project in California’s Monterey County.
