Compass Datacenters To Establish Campus At New Albany Business Park In Columbus, Ohio
01/08/2014
New Albany Business Park is designed as a hub for corporate headquarters, technology firms and other companies in the fast-growing Columbus region. The property, which will be developed into a Compass Datacenters campus, will house up to five Tier III and LEED Gold certified 1.2 MW data center facilities for enterprise customers and service providers. Upon completion of the buildout, private investment in the campus is expected to exceed $60 million, the company said.
“We chose the Columbus market as the location for our next data center development because multiple firms have expressed an interest in having a facility in this area, indicating that there is strong demand for data center space in Columbus. We are investing in New Albany to provide companies with the ability to obtain data center facilities they traditionally could only get by developing in a larger market such as Chicago and New York or through a lengthy and costly process of building a facility themselves,” said Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Datacenters. “Our feature-rich product includes all of the must-haves that enterprise customers and services providers look for in a mission critical facility.”
“Data centers are a key part of the infrastructure for the economy today because they provide the home for computing systems that are at the heart of so many businesses’ operations. Communities that have great data center facilities often serve as a magnet for companies who invest, grow and create jobs. New Albany Business Park is recognized in Ohio as a hub for data centers and other mission critical facilities, and we’re pleased to welcome Compass as it joins other leading brands that have a data center presence in New Albany, such as Nationwide Insurance, TJX, Motorist Insurance, Abercrombie & Fitch and American Electric Power,” said Bill Ebbing, President of the New Albany Company.
New Albany Mayor Nancy Ferguson said, “Data centers have a significant impact on an area’s economic health, not only through the direct investment of building of facilities but also through the impact these technology buildings play in helping companies grow and support new jobs. We want the world to know that New Albany is a great place to work and do business, and Compass’ investment here will make this an even more attractive place for companies who want grow.”
