Apple Picks Up Vacant Cupertino Offices at Deep Discount

Apple has snapped up a big Cupertino office building in a purchase that points to the tech titan’s expansion mode, reported the San Jose Mercury News. The deal also hints at a feeble office market in the wake of the pandemic. 

The iPhone maker bought a four-story office building at 10200 S. De Anza Blvd., about two miles from the company’s Cupertino world headquarters. It paid $70 million in cash for the vacant office building, four years after Rubicon Point Partners forked over $107.5 million for the property. 

Although the deal illustrates declining office values following the pandemic, it also serves as a reminder that tech companies — despite a steady drumbeat of headlines about tech layoffs and job cuts in the crucial industry — still seek to pave pathways to future expansion. 

The 10200 De Anza office building could potentially accommodate 650 to 800 workers, the Mercury News reported.
