Skanska Building Data Center in Hillsboro for Flexential
Skanska is building a $64-million data center in Hillsboro for Flexential Corp., a Charlotte, NC-based data center colocation, cloud and hybrid IT solutions provider. The initial phase of project broke ground this week.
Flexential Hillsboro 3 Data Center is a 358,000-square-foot, 36-megawatt Tier III Data Center in Hillsboro’s Enterprise Zone. The facility will offer 1,500-watts-per-square-foot of power density and the highest cooling efficiency in the region with zero water usage and a 100% renewable energy campus. The four distinct and separate 60,000-square-foot, nine-megawatt data halls and 24-foot ceilings provide a highly efficient cooling design.
The data center is also home to two major trans-pacific subsea cables, providing direct connection and fast access to APAC and includes tier one carriers connected to the northwest access exchange in downtown Portland.
The new facility brings Flexential’s footprint in the region to more than 700,000 square feet. Construction is scheduled for completion in September 2021.
