Nintendo to sell land to Microsoft
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft plans to buy another large property near its Redmond headquarters, continuing to expand its massive footprint in its hometown.
Nintendo Co. said Tuesday that it reached a deal to sell Microsoft a vacant 28-acre parcel across from Nintendo's North American headquarters. The agreement confirms widespread assumptions that Microsoft would buy the land.
Microsoft will keep the land in reserve for possible development in the future and use it to help alleviate a parking shortage in the meantime, said Lou Gellos, a company spokesman. The parking garages at the company's adjacent RedWest campus are often filled to capacity.
