While I agree, it's not immediately obvious these are Apple buildings. The buildings outside the main campus are dull 1980s style offices and the only hint they're Apple is the small emblem hidden on the side of the building. If you are driving down the street it can be difficult to tell.
For example, 19925 Stevens Creek Blvd is an Apple building but there's no way of knowing that unless you spot the small white apple emblem next to the driveway. Otherwise it looks just like a regular office building.

20330 Stevens Creek Blvd is even worse, there isn't even a logo anywhere just the letters 'APPLE' in tiny font on a nondescript sign. I had no idea this was Apple until someone showed me.

If you are just driving down Stevens Creek there is a good chance you won't realize how expansive Apple is. They are not flashy buildings.
- messick 9y agoAre you sure you didn't dig to find those examples? There are many buildings on SC with the regular Apple sign right on the street. To say nothing of the dozens of signs on Bubb, De Anza, Mariani, Valley Green, Bandley, etc., etc. No reasonable person could drive around Cupertino for more than 10 minutes without noticing the large number of Apple buildings.
- saagarjha 9y ago> They are not flashy buildings. Actually, that's a pretty good way to tell who they belong to. Apple buildings have a signature "style"–blacked out windows, trees very close to the building, a small Apple logo on one of the doors somewhere, and umbrellas on the second floor terraces. If you learn the clues it's pretty easy to spot them.
