Microsoft Building 83 Construction Halted

Microsoft will delay construction of Building 83 in Redmond until 2013. The company had broken ground on the facility at 4729 154th Place N.E. in fall 2008. Nearby, a planned Building 81 on the former Safeco campus won't be built until 2014.

At the Building 83 construction site, workers have built up to ground level and capped off most of the exposed metal work.

Not constructing Microsoft Buildings 81 or 83 puts additional space pressure on the Windows team, which under one scenario was set to move into those buildings.
