New aerial images have been released of the construction of the Apple Campus 2 in Cupertino, California.
The site, which covers 2.8 million square feet and is a mile from current Apple HQ, is rarely photographed and these new pictures give a birds-eye view over the progress of construction.
The hi-res images, captured by Australian geospatial mapping and visual analytics company nearmap, show the project developing from a pile of dirt to the construction as it stands today, in all its spaceship-like glory. Work on the project began in late 2013, and is expected to be finished in late 2016.
The four-story ring building, which will house 12,000 Apple employees, will be two-thirds the size of the Pentagon, and is set to cost an estimated $5 billion, according to Bloomberg.
In September, 2014, footage of the construction site was captured by a drone and a GoPro. Apple and Cupertino City Council also occasionally release imagery of the site as it develops.
