Nine months after our last update, exterior finishes are taking shape at Apple's new L.A. office campus.

Located at 8888 Venice Boulevard on the border between the Cities of Los Angeles and Culver City, the project will include 536,000 square feet of offices and production space with subterranean parking for 1,200 vehicles when complete. Finishes are now taking shape along the Culver City side of the property, fronting National Boulevard, while the concrete skeleton of the building in the City of Los Angeles is at its peak.

Gensler  is designing the project, which includes contemporary four- and five-story buildings. Plans call for terrace decks on the upper floors of the buildings. While no street-level commercial uses are planned, building entrances and shuttle drop-off points are intended to activate the ground floor. 

The project site also extends onto Washington Boulevard to the south, where a small park-like alcove will be located next to an office building already occupied by Apple at 8777 Washington Boulevard. In total, 58,000 square feet of open space is planned for the campus, including a central courtyard, the Washington Boulevard space, and landscaped promenades along both Venice and National.

Apple, which announced plans last year to invest $500 billion in the United States in the next four years, has recently ramped up its presence in Los Angeles. Between Apple TV, Apple Music, and other ventures, Apple previously announced that it expected to grow its L.A. office to more than 3,000 employees by 2026.

The Apple campus is the latest tech and entertainment giant to set up shop near Culver City Station. Across the street, Warner Bros. Discovery leases 240,000 square feet of office space at the $350-million Ivy Station complex, and Amazon has occupies some 600,000 square feet of space between the Culver Studios complex and the neighboring Culver Steps development. The site also sits next to the Helms Design District, where Ikea recently opened a Westside outpost
