Facility goes live after nearly five years of planning
US data center firm CoreSite has completed a new expansion at its Silicon Valley data center campus in California.
The American Tower-owned company this week announced the completion of SV9, a new 228,000 sq ft (21,181 sqm) facility offering 34MW.
Located at 2915 Stender Way in Santa Clara, CoreSite first gained planning permission for SV9 back in March 2022 after more than a year of negotiations and discussions about the facility. At the time, the company said it was aiming for a 2023 completion date. Work actually started on the facility in early 2023.
“This strategic expansion in Silicon Valley reflects our commitment to delivering the scalable, high-performance infrastructure our customers need to power AI, cloud, and mission-critical workloads,” said Brouk Eshetu, SVP of general management at CoreSite. “Together with American Tower and Stonepeak, CoreSite is investing in purpose-built facilities with advanced power and cooling capabilities, to enable businesses to grow with confidence as we continue to lay the foundation for the digital economy that shapes how the world works, connects, and thrives.”
CoreSite’s Silicon Valley campus—spanning Santa Clara, Milpitas, and San Jose—now totals more than 1.4 million sq ft (130,064 sqm) across nine data centers. It completed SV8 in mid-2020, while SV7 came online in 2016.
CoreSite owns and operates 30 data centers, totaling approximately 4.5 million sq ft (418,063 sqm), across 11 US markets.
American Tower this week announced its earnings results, posting an increase in total revenue of 3.2 percent to $2.62 billion, while total property revenue also increased for the quarter by 1.2 percent to $2.52bn. Although net income decreased 58.1 percent to $381 million, ATC said it was due to foreign currency losses in the current period.
The quarter saw CoreSite finalize its April 2025 acquisition of a multi-tenant data center facility in Denver, Colorado. The facility hosts CoreSite’s DE1 data center operations.
