Tech giant Apple will invest more than US$250 million to expand its campus in Singapore, with construction set to begin later this year. The expansion will provide “space for growth and new roles in artificial intelligence and other key functions,” the company said in a press release.
The expansion works include a “major upgrade” to two buildings Apple acquired in 2022, located adjacent to its existing offices at the Ang Mo Kio neighborhood.
“Like all Apple facilities, the expanded campus will run on 100% renewable energy,” the firm added.
The iPhone maker, which made its initial foray to Singapore in 1981 with 72 employees, now has more than 3,600 staff in the city-state.
“With our growing campus, Apple is writing a new chapter in our history here,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook, who is in the midst of a Southeast Asia tour. “Our Singapore teams have played an important role in enriching the lives of our customers, and we can’t wait for many more decades of innovation to come.”
