What the source record says
Announced 2016; Microsoft's largest Iowa campus (1.7M sq ft once built out), at 5855 SW Kerry St. Distinct parcel/campus from all currently-tracked Microsoft IA records. Other reporting (not independently fetched this session) says the site spans 160 acres in Warren County + 40 in Madison County, and totals $1.5-2B investment; only the Warren County / building-address / sqft facts below are independently confirmed via direct fetch.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
