Digital Realty Trust Announces Acquisition.

2006-07-28, HostMan.biz

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has acquired 120 E. Van Buren Street, the leading Internet Gateway in Phoenix and a premier datacenter facility for companies with operations in the Southwestern United States. Previously known as Downtown Phoenix Technology Exchange and Sterling Network Services (SNS), 120 E. Van Buren Street is more than 347,000 square feet in size and contains 175,000 square feet of datacenter space that includes over 95,000 square feet of Turn-Key Datacenter space operated by the building for corporate users. 120 E. Van Buren Street offers a carrier-neutral environment with more than 20 communications providers to support the networking needs of customers, and the facility also includes an 11,000 square foot Meet Me Room with immediate occupancy available to support cross-connections between the networks of telecom carriers and network service providers.

Digital Realty Trust will also significantly expand the amount of Turn-Key Datacenter space in the building available for occupancy by adding approximately 30,000 square feet of highly-improved raised floor space, developed in a portion of the 70,000+ square feet of space held for redevelopment. This 30,000 square feet of raised floor space will feature approximately 3 Megawatts of 2N UPS electrical power, and the project has a target completion date of late-Q1/early-Q2 2007.

"120 E. Van Buren Street is a truly outstanding facility. This is a significant addition to our portfolio of premier Internet Gateways, and we are very happy to welcome Sterling Network Services to our world-class team. Sterling not only has tremendous technical expertise but also shares our commitment to customer service -- which makes them a valuable addition to our operations team. Together we will ensure that this is a seamless transition for existing customers and that both existing and new customers benefit from the unique advantages of being in a Digital Realty Trust facility," said Michael F. Foust, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Realty Trust.

As one of the key enhancements for 120 E. Van Buren Street customers, Digital Realty Trust plans to implement the next-generation building automation system (BAS) and security system in the Phoenix facility as part of its roll-out to its entire portfolio of buildings. The state-of-the-art BAS and security system, being implemented by industry leader TAC, provides tenants with enhanced building management capabilities that deliver significant benefits in areas such as energy efficiency, operational costs and ease of management. Digital Realty Trust will also put in place its industry-leading management policies for critical facility operations and construction, which will further enhance the security, reliability and performance of mission critical systems housed in the facility.

"The Phoenix metro area is a strong market with rapidly growing demand for high-quality space to support critical computing systems and network infrastructure. 120 E. Van Buren Street is ideally positioned to meet this demand because of its location, its access to abundant network fiber, the availability of truly turn-key datacenter space, and the presence of an operations team with a wealth of experience in the datacenter field," said Chris Crosby, Senior Vice President of Digital Realty Trust. "120 E. Van Buren Street is also in a unique position to support growing demand in the Phoenix area because of the availability of a significant amount of redevelopment space. Digital Realty Trust will convert approximately 30,000 square feet of that into high-quality raised floor space in a new Turn-Key Datacenter Facility to accommodate new customers as well as existing customers who are seeking to expand their presence in the building. The building gives our customers a tremendous amount of flexibility to support their needs today and in the future."

Financial information and additional details related to the acquisition of 120 E. Van Buren Street are available in the acquisitions news release issued by Digital Realty Trust on July 27, 2006.
