Rapid growth at Apple has the company already planning for a third corporate campus after it finishes work on its second, circular "spaceship" facility in Cupertino, Calif., by 2015.

Cupertino Mayor Gilbert Wong said an interview with the Mercury News that Apple executives told him the company is expanding so fast, they expect to begin working on a third campus after work is completed on their second in 2015. The new campus would reportedly be at a currently unknown location.

The details come as Apple is going through the approval process for its second campus with the City of Cupertino. Wong has said that he's certain the project will be approved.

As part of that process, the city will host a public meeting tonight, at 6:30 a.m. Pacific, to receive input on the scope of the Environmental Impact Report for what has been called "Apple Campus 2 Project." Due to limited seating, the city will provide a live webcast of the meeting.

My new company is in the process of bidding the plumbing for the Apple Campus 2 project.

So far the total cost of construction is hovering around 4 billion.

That will be equaled by Christmas Sales from the iPhone 5 :priate:

How about the next one be a giant Apple logo. It would be great branding and think about being able to see it from space!

Surely. But what scares me is edifice complex. Where is the Sears Tower? The Pan Am building? The Woolworth building? Transamerica Pyramid? (These latter two retained their names, but not the original companies). Lots of other examples.

For individuals, see giant homes in New York City (mostly all gone - visit the Frick Museum for a taste) or "cottages" in Newport, RI and elsewhere.

Sometimes (ofttimes?) having a lot of money means not spending it well.

Then there's Noda Shoyu (Kikkoman) of Japan, which has been making soy sauce since 1661.

One of our friends works for them and gives us a case of delectable Japanese sauces for Christmas every year. Yummy.

Anyway, I think Apple could build quite a bit more before they would be considered irrationally exuberant, given the size of the company.
