The company said it plans to invest approximately $1 billion in the project. Phase 1A is expected to be completed in summer 2027, with Phase 1B targeted for fall 2028.
According to Netflix, the project has diverted more than 55,000 tons of construction waste from landfills, representing about 80% of the waste generated during construction to date.
