Drone Shows Apple's 'Spaceship' HQ Taking Shape

The new campus - called the 'spaceship' by some - will hold up to 12,000 employees and sits just one mile from Apple's existing Cupertino, California, base.

It was originally due to open in 2015 but a series of delays meant construction only got under way last year.

The video shows work continuing on the main building, and the beginnings of what will become a covered auditorium.

A parking area can be seen on one side, along with a large solar panel covering the roof.

The building's footprint is huge - 2.8 million square feet - and an observation deck will allow staff and visitors to look out across the whole site.

It was Apple co-founder and chief executive Steve Jobs who pushed for the $5bn project, before his death in 2011.

The video was filmed around a fortnight ago, and shows Apple's rapid progress with the project.

The video shows a handful of cranes towering above the site, and vast landscaping features taking shape.

A second Apple campus is planned in North San Jose, California.
