.Microsoft buys another 30 acres next to its HoffmanEstates data center campus, including land long owned by meijer
The new acquisition includes land long owned but long undeveloped by Meijer, as well as a 250,000-square-foot spec industrial building that Amazon planned to use as a distribution center before its expansion plans changed last year.
Hoffman Estates hasn't yet received any specific proposals for the land's use, Economic Development Director Kevin Kramer said. Nevertheless, village officials are glad to see the company increase its local investment.The shovel-ready site has the potential to add to Microsoft's data center capacity at that location, but how much so is dependent on what kind of strategy the company adopts, he added.
One obvious question about the existing industrial building is whether it could be retrofitted to Microsoft's needs or would be demolished to make way for a more customized use. A ComEd substation is being designed to serve Microsoft's 53-acre campus on Lakewood Boulevard, just north of Bell Works Chicagoland. Only the first of the two already approved data centers is currently under construction.
The strip mall and outlots along Barrington Road won't be affected by Microsoft's land purchase, Kramer said.
