Apple's pedestrian-friendly campus is located on 38 acres of land at 5501 and 5505 Parmer Lane in the Riata Vista Office Complex. Construction for the operations center began in September 2012 after Apple purchased the land in June 2012.
"They've moved very fast on this project," said Dan McNabb, deputy building official and manager of building inspections for the city of Austin. "You're looking at anywhere from a year to a year and a half from the time of start to completion on these [types of] projects in general."
McNabb said two buildings and one parking structure have been completed since construction began. The two office buildings comprise about 290,000 square feet, and Apple has received temporary occupancy certificates for employees to work in the buildings until construction on the entire campus is finished.
