T5 Data Centers Plans Hyperscale Campus North of Chicago

T5 Data Centers (T5) plans to significantly expand its footprint and will build a new data center campus in Grayslake, Illinois, about 40 miles northwest of Chicago.

The 160-acre site will support up to 480 megawatts of critical IT capacity across multiple data center buildings. T5 will offer customers build-to-suit data center capacity options ranging from powered shell to full turnkey delivery with integration of T5’s construction and operations services.

“The Chicago land market continues to be one of the premier markets to build and operate data centers because of the attractive tax incentives, labor pool, established connectivity and power availability,” said David Horowitz, senior vice president, head of leasing of T5 Data Centers.

Already zoned for data center use, development will begin immediately. “Our Grayslake campus highlights T5’s vision to provide our customers’ large-scale data center capacity with flexibility and integrated services to meet their requirements,” said Pete Marin, President and CEO of T5 Data Centers.
