Facebook is working with the local developer St. Anton Partners to build a $120 million, 394-unit housing complex so its workers can live closer to campus, according to a Wall Street Journal report. It should be noted, however, that the housing units will be open to anyone, not just Facebook employees.
Like the company headquarters, the housing community, called Anton Menlo, will feature unique perks, including a doggy daycare center and a sports bar.
