Take the entire 1,209 sq ft data floor as a single tenant. Purpose-built in 2007 and operating continuously since, with five fiber carriers in the building, 800 AMPs of energised utility service, and a UPS expansion path that is negotiable as part of the lease rather than a capital project you have to fund alone.
Building a comparable facility takes twelve to eighteen months and a substantial capital commitment, and that is before the utility interconnect queue — which in 2026 is the binding constraint almost everywhere, because the AI build-out has absorbed conventional capacity across the market. This floor has power today. That is the entire proposition, and everything below is detail.
| Space | 1,209 sq ft total — approximately 1,000 sq ft of data floor with raised floor access, plus two furnished offices of roughly 100 sq ft each with direct data floor access. Purpose-built as a data center in 2007, not an office or warehouse conversion. |
| Utility power | 800 AMPs of dedicated service — roughly 288 kVA. Energised. No interconnect application pending, no utility queue to join. |
| Protected power | APC Symmetra PX at 40 kW today, N+1 with premium XR battery enclosure at 208V, on a frame rated to 80 kW. Distribution is an 80 kW PDU at 208V in an ISO transformer, with a 120V subfeed to the secondary cage. |
| Generator | 400-gallon diesel with automatic transfer switch and automatic start. On-site fuel for extended utility outages. |
| Cooling | Mitsubishi wall-mounted split systems, three wall units per compressor, N+1 redundant across the data floor, with APC temperature and humidity monitoring throughout. |
| Carriers | Five in the building: Comcast/Xfinity, WOW, LCUB, Iris Networks and AT&T. Additional providers in close proximity. Keep the existing arrangements or replace them entirely — your call as anchor tenant. |
| Network | Dual Cisco enterprise switching and routing, BGP capable, autonomous IPv4 C-class available, VLAN segmentation, 10GbE cabling throughout, overhead cable ladders. |
| Cabinets | Twelve APC Netshelter SX 42U cabinets installed — 600mm by 1070mm, locking — with capacity for twenty-four following rearrangement. Complete APC Symmetra rack power distribution. Cisco Eagle Wire partitions available for cage segregation. |
| Fire and security | Fike Ecaro-25 clean-agent suppression with full data floor coverage, control panel and distribution piping. Kantech three-layer key fob access control with logging. Night Owl video surveillance, interior and exterior, with night vision. |
Anchor tenancy is an unusual decision and most people considering it have no peer to compare notes with. Four profiles account for nearly all of them.
You already sell hosting, backup or managed infrastructure and you are buying wholesale from someone else's floor at their margin. Taking the floor moves that margin to you and gives you a facility you can put your own name on. The concern is always the same — will the landlord compete with me for my own clients — and it is a fair one to put in writing. See below.
Five carriers in one building is unusual at this size and it is the whole pitch for a POP. Announce your own ASN over BGP, take cross-connects to any or all of the five, and use the existing Cisco infrastructure or replace it with your own. Two offices give you somewhere to put engineers.
Organisations that want a dedicated facility without owning real estate, running the whole floor as a private data center. Common where an internal estate has outgrown a building's server room but the business has no appetite to become a landlord or to enter a construction cycle.
If DR-as-a-service is your product, out-of-region capacity is your inventory. This floor sits roughly 320 miles from the Atlantic and over 400 from the Gulf, with generator backing and five carriers — a defensible secondary site to sell to clients along the coast and in Atlanta, Nashville and Charlotte.
An anchor tenant is taking real risk on a single building, and the terms should reflect that. These are the ones worth asking for, and we say so because a tenant who asks for them is a tenant who plans to stay.
The genuine fear in a lease this size is not price — it is being stuck. Get the UPS and PDU expansion trigger, cost split and timeline written into the lease, so growing past 40 kW is a defined process rather than a renegotiation from a weak position eighteen months in.
If you are an MSP reselling this capacity, your reputation and your revenue both sit on our uptime, and you are entitled to certainty that we will not sell directly to a client whose logo is on your invoice. Put it in the agreement.
Anchor tenants can present the facility as their own to their clients, including signage and tour access. There is no requirement to name us to your customers.
Named contacts on both sides, direct escalation without a ticket queue, and defined access rights for your staff and your customers' staff under the Kantech access control system with logging.
Keep the existing carrier arrangements, replace them, or bring in providers not currently in the building. As anchor tenant you are not obliged to buy bandwidth through us.
Anyone evaluating a whole-floor lease will find these in due diligence, so here they are first.
It is Tier II, not Tier III. N+1 redundancy on power and cooling, not 2N, and not concurrently maintainable. Maintenance windows exist. If your customers require concurrent maintainability contractually, this floor cannot deliver it and no amount of negotiation changes that.
The ceiling is the ceiling. Eighty kW protected, twenty-four cabinets, 1,209 sq ft. There is no adjacent shell to expand into. If your five-year plan needs more than that, this is a stepping stone rather than a destination — which is fine, provided the lease term matches the plan.
No compliance certifications. Not HIPAA, not SOC 2, not PCI, not FFIEC, and we are not pursuing them. We document physical and environmental controls thoroughly. If your customers require certified facilities, this floor cannot serve them.
It is not a training site. Distributed inference at conventional density fits well. GPU training at modern rack densities does not, and no upgrade path here changes that.
Bring your load profile, cabinet count and term. We will structure against real numbers, including what the UPS expansion would take.
