The facility will apparently be located in the city of Yokohama.</p> <p>We first heard that Apple would be building a new R&amp;D facility in Japan (http://www.imore.com/apple-said-be-preparing-new-rd-facility-japan) back in December.<!--break--> The Yokohama mayor Fumiko Hayashi announced in a press conference that Apple had purchased a space that once belonged to Panasonic for the construction of such a facility, according to Japanese news site NKH (http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20150325/k10010027491000.html) (translated from Japanese):</p>

<p>Apple plans to build a large technology development facility of approximately 25,000 square meters floor space, and will have already bought part of the Tsunashimahigashi Kohoku-ku, Yokohama Panasonic Factory site.</p>

<p>The building will reportedly be environmentally friendly, keeping energy usage to a minimum. Construction of the building will begin later this year, with goal of completing it at some point in 2016.</p> <p>Source: NKH (http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20150325/k10010027491000.html), Asahi Shimbun (http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASH3T574DH3TULFA027.html) via: Macotakara (http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/news/entry-26333.html)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/44c9ad48/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
