The planned colocation facility will be the firm\u2019s fifth and largest project in the Denver area, bringing its portfolio in the metro to 759,000 square feet and 49.4 megawatts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leasing at Flexential\u2019s latest project will begin in the second half of this year, while the facility is expected to break ground in the second quarter of 2025. With an expected opening in 2026, the data center will be the latest addition to the firm\u2019s FlexAnywhere platform, which allows customers to access portfolio-wide interconnections with cloud providers, alongside data protection and in-house professional services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/ai-is-transforming-the-data-center-real-estate-game-jll\/\">AI Is Changing the Game for Data Centers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The new 17-acre Parker facility will be geared primarily towards businesses in the manufacturing, healthcare and financial services sectors. The data center will benefit from the area\u2019s rich natural resources and a lower risk of natural disasters in comparison to some Eastern and Southern markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of a recent collaboration with Applied Digital, servers in the facility will be equipped with Nvidia H100 Tensor Core graphics processors, which are designed for exascale computing. Additionally, they can more quickly train large language models for artificial intelligence platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flexing-muscles\">Flexing muscles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A yearly update from <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em> found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/will-the-data-center-industry-further-grow-in-2024\/\">power availability<\/a> and reliability are among the top considerations for data center developers amid the ongoing AI boom, pushing many new projects into secondary markets and rural areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar mindset has motivated the locations of some of the Flexential\u2019s recent expansions. In July, the firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/flexential-adds-110-mw-with-new-data-centers\/\">broke ground<\/a> on two new developments in Atlanta and Portland, Ore., also part of the FlexAnywhere platform.
