Infinite Loop

The street and office campus that was Apple’s headquarters from 1997 to 2017.

The Infinite Loop campus at De Anza Boulevard and Interstate 280 was built in 1992 and 1993 on land once occupied by Four-Phase Systems. It became Apple’s headquarters after Steve Jobs returned in 1997 and remained so until Apple Park opened. The private U-shaped street is named for the programming term.

Its company store, which opened in 1993 and was for a time the only place in the world selling Apple-branded T-shirts and mugs, closed on January 20, 2024.
