Apple wants to expand its presence in Germany, and as a result will have found a new place where it can manage its operations in the German world. Property "Karl", built in Karlstraße, and expected to be completed by 2021, will have enough space to accommodate 1,500 employees.
According to the medium Süddeutsche Zeitung, Apple would totally hire, as confirmed by several experts in the real estate market in Munich. However, those of Copertino have not yet given any official confirmation.
The current facilities can accommodate 300 employees
Though an Apple spokesperson made that clear questions related to Apple's offices in Munich or the number of employees will not be answeredIt is believed that California's current design center, located near the city's main train station, accommodates about 300 engineers from 40 countries.
The Karl building has 30,000 square meters, all leased to one person or organization, so the number of employees could increase to 1,500. In addition, Tim Cook visited Munich a few months ago at the Oktoberfest celebration, where he met some people and took the opportunity to visit the company's offices for the first time.
Clemens Baumgärtner, chief economist (CSU) spoke to Cook, "I'm happy that Apple is expanding in Munich. This will create jobs for our city. I have used Oktoberfest to communicate with business executives and talk to them about the benefits of Munich as a city of technology and science.
It seems so Apple was not the only one to have won the Munich charms. Google just announced in October that it would expand its presence in the city from 1,000 employees to 1,500. By this time he would also buy a new site where he would arrange for the construction of 41,000 square feet of office space.
