Growing Microsoft to expand Redmond headquarters
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft said on Monday it would expand its Redmond, Washington, headquarters to accommodate the hiring of more than 10,000 new employees over next 10 to 20 years.
The world's largest software maker, which has been based in the Seattle suburb for the last two decades, said it had agreed with the city of Redmond to spend up to $30 million to pay for local transportation and infrastructure.
The expansion plans, which will add several new buildings to Microsoft's sprawling campus, reflect Microsoft's commitment to remain in the Puget Sound region, said Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel and senior vice president.
