Apple is reportedly preparing to leave the confines of its Cupertino-based campus and sprawl into surrounding cities.
Apple purchased a 43-acre development site across the road from San Jose's airport for $138 million, according to a report from Nathan Donato-Weinstein at the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
Apple's real estate appetite is already voracious, and the company signed a lease in July for a 300,000 square foot building next door to this new development in San Jose.
It's not just sprawling south in the bay, either. Apple reportedly signed its first lease in San Francisco as well, which could be a home to a growing Beats Music brand. Currently the Beats Music staff resides in an office space in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood.
We've reached out to Apple to comment and we'll update if we hear back.
