Ascent, a leading provider of comprehensive data center solutions,
announced today a partnership with Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT,
Inc. (CVMC REIT) whereby CVMC REIT acquired the Ascent CH2 Data Center
Facility in Northlake, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) for $211.7 million
and will provide new capital for the continued build out and expansion
of the facility. Ascent will continue to work directly with current and
future tenants through its operation of the CH2 Facility and will manage
all data center development, design, construction, engineering and
operational services.
This partnership provides both parties an opportunity to focus on their
core competencies, where CVMC REIT will deliver financial resources to
the project while Ascent will continue to deliver custom, built-to-suit
data center suites as well as wholesale colocation space. Current CH2
tenants will continue to benefit from Ascent’s 24/7-onsite operational
support, remote management and Smart Hands services.
“Partnering with CVMC REIT allows Ascent to concentrate on building out
our current portfolio of data center facilities and increase strategic
investment in the development of future locations,” said Phil Horstmann,
CEO of Ascent. “CVMC REIT’s commitment to the data center space is the
perfect complement to our design, construction and operational
capabilities, strengthening our ability to provide current and future
customers with the innovative solutions and mission-critical services
they demand.”
CH2 is a 250,000 square foot multi-tenant facility featuring Ascent’s
purpose-built Dynamic
Data Center SuiteSM model and shared infrastructure
colocation suites. Accommodating users with critical power requirements
from less than 1 MW up to 20 MW of gross power, the facility is designed
for a broad range of customers with diverse computing and power density
requirements.
“Given this property’s desirable location and long term leases with
high-quality tenants, we believe that CH2 is a great addition to our
growing portfolio of mission critical real estate assets. We look
forward to our relationship with Ascent, a recognized leader in the data
center industry, who will continue to manage and develop the property
for CVMC REIT,” stated Michael Seton, President of Carter/Validus
Advisors, the advisor to CVMC REIT.
“CH2 represents our largest single portfolio acquisition to date and
demonstrates our continuing commitment to the data center space,” said
John Carter, CEO of CVMC REIT.
