Green upgrades on the menu
The expansion includes a “major upgrade” to two buildings Apple acquired in 2022, adjacent to its existing offices in Ang Mo Kio.
True to form, the expanded campus will run entirely on renewable energy. Since its humble beginnings with 72 employees in 1981, Apple’s Singapore workforce has swelled to over 3,600.
CEO Tim Cook, on a Southeast Asia tour, expressed excitement for “many more decades of innovation to come.”
