Goodman Breaks Ground on 49.5-MW Data Center in Vernon

Goodman Group commenced construction of Goodman LAX01 Vernon, a 49.5-megawatt data center in Vernon. Sitting on a 5.6-acre site, the three-level facility will provide an estimated 32 MW of critical IT capacity once fully fitted out. The data center will be powered shell-ready by mid-2026.

Greg Goodman, CEO of Goodman Group said, “LAX01 continues the buildout of our 5 GW global power bank supported by our strong balance sheet. It’s a key part of the 500-MW program of new projects we expect to commence by June 2026 across North America, Continental Europe, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.”

Goodman acquired the Vernon site in 2023 and since then has partnered with the City of Vernon and its Public Utilities Department to unlock the full potential of the location. The company has been developing its data center capability since 2005 and has grown to become a large owner of powered sites globally.
