For Sale: San Francisco data center

If you're looking to establish a data center facility in San Francisco, Wired Real Estate Group Inc. (WiredRE) has a deal for you. The company represents 1828 Egbert Avenue, San Francisco, which is available for sale or lease. The rep firm asserts 1828 Egbert is the first purpose-built, large-scale data center available for purchase since Abovenet constructed one more than 15 years ago.

WiredRE says the 120,000 square foot facility is "seismically engineered" and will accommodate up to 23 MW of critical capacity in Phase I. The total buildout could reach 200,000 square feet and more than 30 MW of critical capacity, the company believes.

"We feel the timing of this sale for 2016 is perfect, as we've seen a significant level of activity from service providers and Internet firms via our engagement with WiredRE," said John Mason, principal at 1828 Egbert. "The large brokerage firms claim specialization; however, WiredRE's singular focus on cloud, colocation, and data centers is distinctive."

1828 Egbert is located in the Portola Place neighborhood of San Francisco. The area has seen significant development over the last 10 years, WiredRE says. The company points to the Third Street light rail and the Lennar mixed-use development as hopeful features. From a power perspective, the area features a radial distribution system and three substations, including Hunters Point, Martin (Brisbane), and Potrero.

The site is also "just blocks away" from the carrier connectivity aggregation hub at 200 Paul.

"With installed, underground power supply and immediate capacity available, we are receiving a high level of interest from firms that value time to market and the logical and physical diversity that a world-class carrier hotel and exchange point can provide," asserted Everett Thompson, WiredRE CEO.
