Cupertino building permits — week of May 11, 2026
Apple is quietly reshaping its Valley Green Drive campus again, with two permits covering nearly 50,000 square feet of interior demolition and lab buildout at the same building — a strong signal of an incoming tenant group reorganization. The rest of the week was dominated by routine residential work: solar installs, water heater swaps, and one notable whole-house remodel on Stafford Drive. No declared valuations were filed across all 87 permits, making dollar-volume analysis impossible but doing nothing to obscure where the real action is.
Top permits this week
A modest 2.55 kW rooftop solar install on Ann Arbor Ave — small system, likely a starter array for a single-family home.
A sewer cleanout installation at the property line on Chadwick Place — routine maintenance access work, nothing more.
A substantial whole-home overhaul on Stafford Drive: 614 sq ft addition plus full kitchen, bath, and bedroom reconfiguration across nearly 1,400 sq ft.
