Apple Bought 70-acres Across the Street From Its NC Data Center

Digital Daily has discovered that Apple owns an additional 70 acres across the street from land being used for their new data center.

According to Catawba County Geospatial Information Services, Apple owns a little over 70 acres across the street from the 183 acre parcel on which its 500,000-square-foot data center is being built. That land was purchased in July of last year, but for what purpose?

The scuttlebutt around Maiden is that the company intends to use it for office space. But that seems about as likely as Apple using it to build some Jobsian theme park.

The rumor is that Apple is planning to double the size of its current structure and could even use the space across the street for the same purpose.
