(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Real estate investment firm Mission West Properties (www.missionwest.com) and CDH Consulting announced on Wednesday it is building a new data center site in Ontario, Oregon.
The site will support a single mission-critical data center facility up to 300,000 square feet, or can allow for three or four smaller data center projects.
According to the press release, the site features significant economic incentives from the state, including 15 consecutive years of real estate tax holiday of up to $22.4 million and no sales tax.
The site also offers some of the lowest power costs in the nation, at 3.03 cents per kWh with an estimated PUE of 1.4 or lower.
The data center property will support one or more facilities up to a total of 300,000 square feet, which will include a 62 MVA onsite power substation and evaporative cooling systems.
This site can provide carrier neutral connectivity from Qwest and Level 3, capable of redundant pathways.
“With demand for cloud computing rising, we believe the need for mission-critical data center space will grow rapidly in the next two to three years,” says Carl Berg, CEO of Mission West Properties. “For prospective tenants, the Mission West/CDH Consulting property in Ontario, Oregon will provide outstanding economic development incentives, low power costs and the ability to design and build a facility to suit specific needs.”
Mission West Properties currently manages 111 commercial R&D properties totalling around 8 million rentable square feet.
