  • Site is cordoned off, but one Apple fan got an aerial view of the building using a GoPro-equipped drone
  • Apple founder Steve Jobs originally submitted the application for the Cupertino headquarters back in 2011
  • The campus will be a mile in circumference, feature glass walls and solar panels and cover 175 acre

Covering 175 acres with a radical round ‘spaceship’ design, keeping Apple’s new HQ under wraps was always going to be a tough task.

Drone owners have captured almost every aspect of its constructions.

Now, it appears work on the foundations has been finished – meaning Steve Jobs futuristic vision can begin to rise from the ground.

Covering 175 acres, the company's futuristic 'Campus 2' headquarters will be a mile in circumference when it's complete in 2016.

The spaceship site is currently cordoned off to prevent photos, but one Apple fan has managed to get an aerial view of the building using a GoPro-equipped drone.

It is the latest in a series of videos.

Earlier, the footage was taken by YouTuber, jmcminn, using a GoPro Hero 3+ Black edition and a DJI Phantom 2 drone, which flew from the site’s perimeter and later over the site in Cupertino, California.
