Google has dozens of real estate projects around the U.S., and it says at least 20 key projects will receive investments this year to the tune of nearly $10 billion. In a blog post Wednesday, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted country-wide offices and data centers either under construction or opening in 2022. In California alone, it’s working on construction and some housing in the San Francisco Bay Area, including two large office buildings in Mountain View, near its headquarters, and several other office buildings in neighboring cities. Pichai also said it expects to create at least 12,000 new full-time Google jobs by the end of the year.
