Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

Phase 1 building (250,000 sq ft) complete and in service; a second 150,000 sq ft building and an on-site substation are under construction.
Underlying source
Source notes
53-acre campus on the north side of Lakewood Boulevard near Barrington Road, approved by the Hoffman Estates Village Board in May 2021. Distinct from Microsoft's Elk Grove Village and Northlake sites. Investment figure is the capital-investment commitment recorded in the state MOU; a trade-press account attributes a higher figure to the campus, so the state number is used here as the documented commitment.
Campus plans include a dedicated on-site electrical substation, approved separately from the building site plans.
