EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure, a global data center developer, owner and operator, broke ground yesterday in Santa Clara, CA on the first of two strategically-located, sustainably designed data centers, engineered to meet current and future customer requirements.
Upon completion, the LEED designed campus will support 72 MW of critical load across 540,000 square feet of space. Utility power will be available at the site through Silicon Valley Power beginning in Q1 2024.
In November 2022, EdgeCore was acquired by Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, acting on behalf of its clients. Partners Group will invest up to USD $1.2 billion to fund the acquisition and buildout of existing and future data center sites. Today’s announcement of new construction in capacity and power-constrained Santa Clara is the first of several development projects EdgeCore has slated to begin in 2023.
“EdgeCore entered 2023 poised for rapid growth and today’s announcement of our Silicon Valley campus groundbreaking is the exciting start to a busy year of development,” said Lee Kestler, CEO, EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure. “The Santa Clara market is ideally positioned to serve the technology companies that rely on data centers to power their products and services, and EdgeCore is proud to be one of just a few hyperscale data center developers with available capacity in this important market.”
“Santa Clara is proud to welcome EdgeCore to our community of technology companies and data center operators,” said Lisa Gillmor, Santa Clara City Mayor. “EdgeCore’s investment in our city not only brings economic benefits, but also demonstrates the city’s commitment to supporting technological innovation and growth. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with EdgeCore.”
