Apple Obtains Rezoning on Second Cupertino Campus Parcel
The site, which is south of the Hewlett-Packard campus, houses two office buildings currently occupied by Apple employees.
The buildings were already on the property from the site's industrial days. Before Apple purchased the property in 2006, the city rezoned the industrial site to residential in anticipation of a 130-unit townhouse and condominium project that previous property owners Morley Brothers had proposed.
Aside from its main headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop, Apple has employees spread out in buildings along De Anza Boulevard and throughout the city. Jobs described the far-flung nature as frustrating. He said he hoped they would be able to consolidate all Cupertino employees at the current Infinite Loop campus and at a future campus.
A one-acre section of the property, which lies directly adjacent to Interstate 280, will remain zoned for a public park.Top Rated Comments

That's kinda cool. Reminds me of how Apple was going to clean up the subway station/bus turnaround area up on Halsted in Chicago.

Yeah, but 1 acre next to an Interstate? Its enough to park a few cars and slap down a picnic table but that's about it. I think it will remain as green space (or brown space considering its Calif.).There's a funny video on YouTube of Steve reminding the council that Apple were amongst the largest tax payers in Cupertino.
You know, links are always helpful...

I'm just glad we can still land our Frisbees and model rockets on the freeway. It is a cultural feature by now.
It's not only green space, it is well irrigated, manicured, and fertilized grass. When we say green, we mean green, darn-it.

Kinda hard to top 1 Infinite Loop. Perhaps something regarding the Mobius? :)

Time to start a MR street naming/contest thread for this?

How cool would it be for Apple to start designing condo and/or apartment buildings? Take the Apple store design asthetic and translate it to a living space...
