SAN FRANCISCO: Uber's new Oakland headquarters is nearly 70% bigger than Internet radio service Pandora Media's office nearby and will house about five times the number of employees that ride-hailing competitor Lyft has at its headquarters.
The on-demand ride service paid US$123.5mil (RM513.51mil) for Oakland's historic Sears building last year and so far has filed building permits to complete at least US$2mil (RM8.31mil) in renovations, according to BuildZoom, a startup that compiles construction and remodelling contractor data for homeowners.
