The Cupertino City Council unanimously approves the 2.8-million-square-foot building, and demolition on the property will begin at the end of this year. October 16, 2013 6:48 AM PDT (Credit: Apple/City of Cupertino) Apple's "spaceship" headquarters has, for all intents and purposes, been cleared for construction. The Cupertino City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved the 2.8-million-square-foot building. Although the Council must meet one more time on November 15 to hold a final vote on the matter, that is essentially a formality. Apple now plans to begin demolishing building on the site by the end of this year. Apple's "spaceship" design was the apple of Steve Jobs' eye, a place the Apple co-founder hoped would reflect his company's product design ideas. The massive facility will be four stories high and featured curved glass in a ring-like shape. Apple expects the facility to be able to accommodate over 14,000 employees, more than five times the number Apple's current headquarters can fit.
