Apple's 3-million-square-foot Austin campus is slated to be completed in 2022.
AUSTIN, TX—Apple has begun construction on its new Austin campus, on a site close to where it says the 2019 Mac Pro has already entered production. The tech firm expects to open the plant in 2022.
The new campus is a $1 billion 3-million-square-foot site that is to house an initial 5,000 employees, later growing to 15,000. Apple already employs around 7,000 people in Austin, and says that this is an expansion of more than 50% in the last five years.
