Google's recently released filing shows plans to build an 80-acre development that will encompass up to 7.3 million square feet of office space and 5,900 units of new housing in San Jose, California, reports CNBC.
This exceeds the initial proposal of 6.3 million square feet of office space and 5,000 housing units presented back in August.
According to CNBC, the company hopes to address its expanding workforce through the plan as to accommodate up to 25,000 employees. In addition to the office spaces, the Heatherwick Studio-designed project will also include around 15 acres of parks and green space, retail, and up to 1,100 hotel rooms. Google has been trying to get this city to expand its building height limits so it can build upward, instead of outward, reports CNBC.
