Microsoft is planning the development of a new data center facility in Caledonia, Michigan, located in the Grand Rapids market. The company has acquired land at 7174 Patterson Avenue and submitted a rezoning request for a 40.5-acre parcel. This land was purchased in October 2024 for $45.3 million.

The rezoning application seeks to change the land's designation from large-scale planned unit development to light industrial, aligning it with adjacent parcels also owned by Microsoft. These combined 316 acres are slated for data center development.

While specific project plans and construction timelines are still being finalized, Microsoft is working with local partners. This development marks a significant investment in the Grand Rapids region, which is emerging as a secondary data center hub in Michigan, complementing the primary concentration of facilities around Detroit.
