Microsoft Expands Footprint in City of Bellevue: Company leases 1.3 million square feet of office space to better accommodate current and future employee base in Puget Sound region.

 Relentless...

In February 2006 Microsoft announced that it would accelerate campus development plans, expanding its Redmond, Wash., campus by one-third of its current size — including new development on the company’s main Redmond campus and leased space within the surrounding area — which would make it one of the world’s largest corporate campuses. The expansion announced today is in addition to the company’s previous plans, which are in progress and on schedule to be completed in 2009.

Almost half of Microsoft’s worldwide employees work in the Puget Sound area. The company employs more than 35,000 workers in the region and another 41,000 globally.
