According to a new report, Apple is planning to open new offices in a quickly-growing Vancouver development. Apple will join the likes of Deloitte and IWG plc’s Spaces in the office space.

Apple is said to be a key tenant of the upcoming 400 West Georgia development in Vancouver, which is described as a futuristic tower. It’s currently slated to be completed in the spring of 2020. Apple will reportedly take up about two floors in the 24-floor building.

The futuristic tower—a rotating stack of enormous glass cubes said to be inspired by the Japanese paper lantern—will be approximately 367,000 square feet (34,095 square meters). Deloitte Canada’s Vancouver headquarters will take up about 117,000 square feet (10,869 square meters) in the top 10 floors, while Spaces will rent about 120,000 square feet (11,148 square meters).

“The tower is slated to be completed in the spring of 2020.”

Apple will have a notable neighbor at this new development. Amazon is currently in the process of re-developing a building across the street that used to be a Canada Post mailing center. That development is being turned into the 416,000-square-foot (38,647-square-meter) home to new Amazon offices.

In 2015, Apple moved its Canadian HQ into new downtown offices on the outskirts of Toronto, close to its flagship Eaton Centre store. On its website, Apple currently lists its Canadian headquarters address as 120 Bremner Boulevard in Toronto.
