The proposal includes:

  • An Office, Research and Development Building comprising approximately 2.8 million square feet;
  • A 1,000 seat Corporate Auditorium;
  • A Corporate Fitness Center;
  • Research Facilities comprising approximately 300,000 square feet;
  • A Central Plant; and
  • Associated Parking.

Cupertino’s review process will consist of:

  • Development review
  • Public hearings at the Planning Commission and the City Council
