Apple's main contractors leave Spaceship campus project: Report

Apple will no longer be working with lead construction firms DPR Construction Inc and Skanska USA on its new “Spaceship” campus, the Silicon Valley Business Journal reported on Tuesday. Apple and Skanska were “unable to come to an agreement during negotiations for the revised scope of work,” the construction company’s chief, Richard Cavallaro, wrote in an internal email seen by the journal. Cavallaro added that the team “will transition completely off the project in the next several weeks,” the journal reported. Atlanta-based Holder Construction may take over the project, two anonymous industry sources told the journal. (bit.ly/1Gz6A8E) Apple and Skanska declined to comment on the story. In 2013, Apple’s spaceship-like headquarters was approved by the Cupertino City Council. In a tweet, Tim cook said, “Our home for innovation and creativity for decades to come. Cupertino City Council Gives Unanimous Approval for Apple’s New Campus.” Reuters
