Apple Slated to Move Into New San Francisco ****** in Late Summer
 

Apple could be ready to move into its new 76,000-square-foot leased ****** space in San Francisco by late summer 2016, according to Reuters. The new ******, located at 235 2nd Street in the city's expensive South of Market neighborhood, will reportedly have e**ugh space for about 500 workers upon completion.

Apple currently has ******s throughout the South Bay suburbs, including Cuperti**, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, and **rth San Jose, but some employees face an hour-plus commute along the heavily-trafficked Highway 101. Apple's new San Francisco ****** could help it recruit key employees who are reluctant to work outside of the city.

The iPhone maker's modest expansion into San Francisco follows several other tech companies and startups, including Google, Uber, and Yelp, and its new ****** will appeal to young workers that prefer the city's nightlife, public transportation, and overall lifestyle. Apple will share space with CBS Interactive, the main tenant.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs advocated for a centralized campus that is "within walking distance of everyone," but increasing competition, lack of available ****** space in the South Bay area, and acquisitions like Beats and Topsy are likely driving forces behind its expansion beyond Silicon Valley.

?Apple?s attitude has always been that you have the privilege of working for Apple, and if you don?t want to do it, there?s someone around the corner who does,? said Matt MacInnis, a former Apple employee who worked on the company?s education business and is **w CEO of Inkling, an enterprise tech**logy company.

**w, MacInnis said, ?they have to compete.?

Nevertheless, the majority of Apple's workforce will remain based in Cuperti**. The company's spaceship-like Campus 2 project is scheduled to be completed in late 2016, and the 176-acre property will house some 13,000 employees. Apple previously said that it had more than 25,000 employees in the Santa Clara Valley.
