Google has announced plans to build a huge complex in Mountain View, California.

According with CNBC, Google's development plans include 290.000 square meters for office building, 37,160 square meters for the construction of retail space, up to 8.000 new homes as well as 35 acres of open space accessible to the public.
Mountain View City Council has already approved the 2017 Rebuilding Plan since December. So Google will be able to build the new village directly (money available) to cope with the mismatch between the limited housing space and the continued job growth in the region.
Google's proposal was designed to comply with Mountain View City's Precise Plan, which was approved by local authorities last year.
A Google spokesperson said the company wants to add more housing options to the area and "large public spaces that prioritize people more than cars".
Let's mention that Google is already building a huge campus in Mountain View (the first picture), called Charleston East, The campus you see above features a dome that covers the entire two-story structure.
The new campus has walking paths, a public park, a square and shopping areas. Google has reportedly spent about $3 billion in recent years two years to buy real estate in valley.
