Apple Inc. (AAPL) said it started construction on its new campus in Austin, Texas, as part of its broad expansion in the city.

Apple said that at a production facility a short distance away, it is preparing to ship its new Mac Pro to customers starting in December.

The company said it broke ground on its new $1 billion, three-million-square-foot campus in Austin. The campus will initially house 5,000 employees, with the capacity growing to 15,000, and is expected to open in 2022, Apple said.
