Milwaukee Journal reported that Microsoft paid $5.73 million for another 28.6 acres at 13231 Louis Sorenson Road.

The land was acquired from the Nancy Rothering Trust.

Microsoft broke ground on the first plot of land in Mount Pleasant last year. It originally planned to develop 315 acres of land previously set aside for a Foxconn manufacturing hub.

The cloud company then gained approval for another 1,000-acre expansion earlier this year amid further land acquisitions and purchased another 205 acres in July.

Most recently, Microsoft bought 70 acres of land for the same site last month. On August 16, Microsoft also purchased a 1.4-acre lot and ranch house at 2615, near Louis Sorenson Road.

The land was acquired from Barbara and Thomas Rinke for $800,000.

The tech giant has now acquired more than 1,600 acres of land in Racine County. Since May alone, the company has spent $55.1 million on land in the region.

The company has plans to invest more than $3 billion in the Racine County development.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is currently home to data center operators such as Lumen, Cogent, CyberLynk, and TierPoint.

A report from DC Byte in April said low vacancy rates in Virginia would lead to growth in emerging markets such as Wisconsin.
