This acquisition represents continued execution upon EdgeCore’s business plan as one of North America’s premiere data center development and operating companies. Specifically, with the Northern Virginia acquisition and since closing its initial capital raise in February, 2018, EdgeCore has acquired land supporting scalable data center campuses of at least 100 MW each in the Dallas, Phoenix, Northern Virginia, and Reno markets. Additionally, EdgeCore expects to substantially complete the first phase of turn-key capacity at its Phoenix, Arizona campus in the first quarter of 2019.

“We are pleased to be on track in executing against our plan,” said Tom Ray, Chairman and CEO of EdgeCore. “We will continue to work hard to deliver upon the breadth and depth of scale, along with just-in-time delivery capabilities, our customers require. Our entry into Northern Virginia represents our fourth market over the past six months and we remain focused upon entering additional markets over the next year. We continue to be grateful for the trust of our customers, the work of our leadership team, and the support of our investors as we execute in our role as a preeminent developer, owner, and operator of wholesale data center capacity across the US.”
