I'm not sure if you're familiar with the area, but the location is actually pretty good for Apple:
1) Apple is a South Bay company and has been for some time. They have almost no presence in SF and I don't know where they could build something to fit their needs without running into huge opposition. This location is very close Apple's existing HQ complex plus dozens of other nearby current and future Apple buildings.
2) It's not as remote of a location as you might think looking at drone footage. Lots of retail and mixed-use redevelopments in the immediate area. It is however a mostly auto-oriented place (like the rest of Silicon Valley). But that's probably why they have their own private fleet of buses....
