A Dallas-based data center firm will take over the former Sears Holding Corp. headquarters in Hoffman Estates, ending the retailer's 30-year history with the village. Compass Datacenters will most likely demolish and replace the massive structure, located on 197 acres at 3333 Beverly Road, with several data centers, high-tech facilities that provide the backbone for the internet and corporate IT operations. The firm closed on its purchase of the site Tuesday. Hoffman Estates Village President Bill McLeod said it's the perfect use for the obsolete campus near the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway, west of Illinois Route 59.
