ATLANTA, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- T5 Data Centers
(T5), the data center industry's Forever On capacity and services
provider, announced plans to significantly expand its footprint
with the development of a new data center campus in Grayslake, Illinois, about 40 miles northwest
of Chicago. The 160-acre site will
support up to 480 megawatts (MW) of critical IT capacity across
multiple data center buildings. T5 will offer customers
build-to-suit data center capacity options ranging from powered
shell to full turnkey delivery with integration of T5's
construction and operations services.
T5's Grayslake campus represents a major investment
to meet growing demand for data center capacity requirements of
cloud and AI workloads.
"The new Grayslake campus
represents a major investment by T5 to meet the growing demand for
large-scale data center capacity to support cloud and artificial
intelligence workloads," said David
Horowitz, Senior Vice President, Head of Leasing of T5 Data
Centers. "The site's location is perfectly positioned between major
data center hubs of the northern Chicago suburbs and southeastern Wisconsin, which provides an ideal connection
point. The Chicago land market
continues to be one of the premier markets to build and operate
data centers because of the attractive tax incentives, labor pool,
established connectivity and power availability."
Already zoned for data center use, development will begin
immediately, targeting the first 60MW of data center capacity in Q4
2027. An onsite electrical substation will provide efficient and
redundant utility power. "The amount of power at this site,
combined with T5's customer-focused approach to data center
development, will greatly benefit our customers,"
continued Horowitz. "T5's data center business is structured
to support our customer's design, build, and fit out preferences
and uniquely allows them to select the operations model that best
fits their business requirements now and as they evolve in the
future."
"Our Grayslake campus highlights T5's vision to provide our
customers' large-scale data center capacity with flexibility and
integrated services to meet their requirements. Our team's strong
track record of managing the execution and operational risk,
strengthens our customer's confidence that T5 will safely deliver
on our commitments to schedule, cost, and performance," said
Pete Marin, President and CEO of T5
Data Centers. "As the data center industry continues its rapid
growth, we see the scale and efficiencies of large, powered
campuses being critical to meet the capacity requirements of the
biggest cloud and AI providers. Which is why we're thrilled to
bring Grayslake to the market
today."
The Grayslake development is
part of T5's strategy to concentrate its data center development to
a short list of large-scale campuses while continuing to provide
construction services and facilities management across US and
Europe to serve the needs of their
target customers wherever they are located.
