Google says it plans to spend more than $ 7 billion on US real estate in 2021 as it continues to spend after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Η εταιρεία είπε ότι τα χρήματα προορίζονται για επέκταση γραφείων και data centers σε 19 πολιτείες, δημιουργώντας τουλάχιστον 10.000 θέσεις work πλήρους απασχόλησης. Περίπου 1 δισεκατομμύριο δολάρια προορίζονται ειδικά για την Καλιφόρνια.
Η mother Google company A halted real estate spending last year after the pandemic and Google's first annual decline in revenue in the second quarter of last year.
The data center expansions come as the company rapidly expands its cloud business. The company in its latest earnings report, revealed that it lost $5,61 billion from the income of $ 13,06 billion last year.
Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian told investors last month that he was focusing on business growth and profitability.
The company plans to return its employees to the offices by the fall. Pichai has previously said that Google would not adopt a permanent telecommuting program, expecting most employees to show up at their assigned offices three days a week starting in September.
As part of the expansion, Pichai said the company will add thousands of new roles to its offices in Atlanta, Washington DC, Chicago and New York.
The company plans to open new offices in Seattle, Houston and Mississippi. It is in the process of planning several massively evolving projects in various cities, such as near its headquarters in Mountain View, California, where it is adding new homes.
