Apple plans to add 2,000 software and hardware jobs in Seattle within the next five years, starting with 200 additional jobs this year, company officials said Monday at a news conference with Mayor Jenny Durkan.
The company is leasing all the office space at 333 Dexter Ave. N., a complex of two 12-story buildings nearing completion at Dexter Avenue and Thomas Street, one block west of the core Amazon campus in South Lake Union. The office space could accommodate more than 3,000 employees.
“If you look at where they’ve grown elsewhere in the country, their growth has been exponential to what they anticipated,” Durkan said. “And so I think it’s a really good sign.”
