Apple has begun construction of a new research and development center in Yokohama, Japan, and hopes to complete the 25,000 square meter building by 2017.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the area around the facility is being developed as a 'smart city' by Panasonic and Nomura Real Estate Development and will include housing and retail.
In keeping with its futuristic surroundings, Apple claims the building will go green with "40 percent less energy", over 1200 newly planted trees and shrubs including a landscaped rooftop, and onsite recycled water treatment.
