The new facility will add 240,000 square feet and 48 MW of capacity to the current 34 MW, 300,000-square-foot West Jordan data center. The news follows last week\u2019s announcement that the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-secures-495m-credit-facility\/\">obtained a $495 million secured credit facility<\/a> from an investor group that included Goldman Sachs Bank USA and CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. One of the purposes of the funding was in fact the expansion at the SLC facility.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/data-center-market-poised-for-serious-expansion\/\">Data Center Market Poised for Serious Expansion<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>On full completion, the master-planned Aligned SLC campus will offer 780,000 square feet of space and 130 MW of capacity in Silicon Slopes, a region that describes the growing high-tech region along the Wasatch Front, centered on Salt Lake City and its airport. Silicon Slopes also includes the site of the National Security Agency\u2019s Utah Data Center, a massive $1.5 billion-plus facility in Bluffdale that was completed earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Aligned Energy\u2019s expansion reportedly is being driven by a new anchor customer and more broadly by demand for adaptable, scalable data center infrastructure in the West. Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned Energy said in a prepared statement that the greenfield development is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2020. Aligned declined to disclose a dollar figure for the project.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the region\u2019s status as a growing tech center, Aligned touts its low risk natural and man-made disasters and notes that Salt Lake City is classified as a cold desert (its elevation is about 4,200 feet), which eases ambient cooling.<\/p>\n<h2>Keeping pace with a growing sector<\/h2>\n<p>Aligned has been on the move. Prior to obtaining the $495 million credit facility last week, Aligned announced plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-dallas-data-center-facility\/\">expand capacity at its 19-acre campus<\/a> in Plano, Texas, in the Dallas metroplex. The U.S. data center market continues to grow, with the total capacity of primary geographic markets rising by 200 MW, or 8 percent, in the first six months, according to a first-half 2019 North American data center report from CBRE. Further, an additional 411 MW of capacity is under construction. Fortunately, one-third of that is already preleased. Absorption remains strong, according to the report, as the U.S. primary data center markets recorded 171 MW of wholesale turnkey colocation absorption in the first half of 2019, representing 57 percent of the full-year record level in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news closely follows the announcement of a hefty new credit facility that supports Aligned\u2019s growth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004364554,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21755,21782,21825,21742,1606,15],"tags":[39171,39172,32789,33435],"class_list":["post-1004364500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-centers","category-development","category-finance","category-latest","category-salt-lake-city","category-west","tag-aligned-data-centers","tag-andrew-schaap","tag-cbre","tag-goldman-sachs"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Aligned Energy Expands Salt Lake City Data Center - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Aligned Energy Expands Salt Lake City Data Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The news closely follows the announcement of a hefty new credit facility that supports Aligned\u2019s growth.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-10-31T12:39:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-10-31T14:07:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/scott-31-oct.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"620\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Scott Baltic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/\",\"name\":\"Aligned Energy Expands Salt Lake City Data Center - Commercial Property Executive\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/scott-31-oct.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-10-31T12:39:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-10-31T14:07:34+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/61ac1450f3ffaa0e850b834c28526555\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/aligned-energy-expands-salt-lake-city-data-center\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/scott-31-oct.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/scott-31-oct.jpg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":620,\"caption\":\"Rendering of the expanded Aligned SLC campus.
