Microchip Technology Inc. today announced that it has selected
Binswanger/Puget Sound Properties as its agent for the sale of its 710,000
square foot fab in Puyallup, Wash.

The list price for the facility is $93.8 million and it is available for
immediate occupancy, as Microchip has completely vacated the building.

The complex sits on a 92-acre campus east of Tacoma and consists of 10
buildings, including three fabrication facilities.

The largest plant, Fab D, totals about 300,000 square feet, with a class 1,
ballroom-style cleanroom, capable of 0.18-micron technology. Fab C, capable
of class 10 expansion, totals about 185,000 square feet, while Fab A totals
about 152,000 square feet and is ready for expansion.

The other buildings are for office and site support, Microchip said.

Microchip Technology Inc. manufactures field-programmable RISC
microcontrollers, which serve 8-bit and 16-bit embedded control
applications, and a variety of linear and mixed-signal, power management and
thermal management devices.
