Rendering of QTS’ new facility<\/p><\/div>\n

QTS Realty Trust\u00a0started\u00a0the development of\u00a0a new data center campus\u00a0in Ashburn, Va., on a 52-acre site. The two parcels were purchased separately for a total of $53 million. Over the coming months, the company plans to develop multiple facilities, ultimately delivering 140 megawatts of gross power over 700,000 square feet of raised floor space.<\/p>\n

QTS will build the new facility in multiple phases,\u00a0with market demand as the primary pacing factor. Construction began on the first 24-acre\u00a0lot in Ashburn. This initial development, scheduled for completion by\u00a0mid-2018, will\u00a0provide four megawatts of critical capacity of which 2.2 are already preleased to a global health insurance provider. The site will be adjacent to The Vault.<\/p>\n

Growing market<\/h2>\n

QTS has two other facilities in the area, QTS Ashburn at 22271 Broderick Drive, Sterling, Va., and The Vault at 1506 Moran Road in Dulles, Va.\u00a0The Northern Virginia data center<\/a> market accounted for approximately 25 percent of total wholesale capacity absorption among the top U.S. data center markets, according to JLL.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have additional sellable capacity in a strategic QTS market to expand our ecosystem of more than 130 customers currently supported within our Northern Virginia footprint. Our fully-integrated 3C platform, combined with mega data center scale, position QTS to take advantage of increasing hybrid IT requirements, particularly from hyperscale companies,<\/em>\u201d said Chad Williams, chairman and CEO of QTS, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

Ongoing expansion<\/h2>\n

In addition to the new Northern Virginia development, QTS purchased land in other growing tech markets as well. It acquired 84 acres in Phoenix for $25 million, approximately four miles from its existing facility in the area, as well as 92 acres in Hillsboro, Ore., for $26 million. The company plans to finish initial development at these two sites in the coming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur announced development in Ashburn combined with new strategic optionality in Phoenix and Hillsboro, enhance QTS\u2019 ability to deliver scalable capacity solutions in the top U.S. hyperscale data center markets. The ability to extend our hyperscale growth strategy with a de-risked development plan is consistent with QTS\u2019 overall balanced approach to capital allocation,<\/em>\u201d said Jeff Berson, CFO at QTS, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n
