Apple Plans New Headquarters Complex In Culver City, California

Elon Musk might be moving Tesla Inc.'s TSLA headquarters out of California, but Apple Inc AAPL is reinforcing its presence in the Golden State with a new headquarters in Culver City.

What Happened: According to Hollywood Reporter coverage, the company is planning to build two connected office complexes along Culver City’s National and Venice boulevards that will encompass more than 550,000 square feet. The new headquarters will be fully powered by renewable energy and feature sustainable building features in its design.

No timeline was announced on the building’s construction. In April, the company announced plans to add more than 3,000 employees to Culver City within the next five years, part of a wider commitment to add 20,000 new jobs by 2026.
