Just a general article saying Apple has been buying lots of land and is up over 7000 acres of vacant land. Most of it is for data center and solar farm expansions.
Companies used to build out data centers at RTP left and right - I assume that's still the case.
That being said, it's not just a data center that goes on that much land.
Apple’s data center out in Maiden is on almost 200 acres, and they’ve got about another 400 acres of solar farm out there, but no, they don’t need another data center in NC and even if they did, there’s no way they’d build it on expensive RTP land.

And while there are data centers in RTP, most are part of a larger campus like NetApp or on some weird side piece of land or both like the one Fidelity bought from Credit Suisse.
The RTP foundation wouldn’t sell that prime land this entity bought for a data center alone. And again, you can’t randomly buy land in RTP and do random things with it due to the way RTP is structured. It is not like other properties.
Fidelity also sucked up the Nortel buildings in RTP south of NC 54, although not the original larger building north of 54 that remains vacant.

Certainly the RTF of 10 years ago would not. I don't know where their heads are these days and whether they're hitting the panic button about continued buildout.

Lately they seem to have either their head in the sand or running in circles blissfully unaware, while Triangle life moves all around them.
I mean seriously, for example, how long does it take to add a damn greenway underneath that bridge on Davis. Also that mixed use plan they claim will invigorate RTP that they've been talking about forever.
