Microsoft eyeing empty Nintendo site
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft is already synonymous with Redmond in some corners of the technology world, and now the company appears interested in occupying even more of its hometown.
A Nintendo of America executive confirmed this week that the video-game company has been taking bids for a 27-acre Redmond site that it previously eyed for expansion. The vacant site is just north of the Japanese company's North American headquarters, on the west side of state Route 520 in the city.
Microsoft is one of the bidders. Considering its existing presence in the Overlake neighborhood, its ongoing space crunch and its financial resources, that's not surprising.
