Company buys SJO2 from Ellis Partners.
Liquid cooled data center operator Colovore has acquired a data center in San Jose, California, that it was previously leasing.
First reported by SiliconValley.com and citing Santa Clara County property records, an affiliate of Colovore recently acquired 3060 Raymond Street from Ellis Partners for $37.2 million.
The companies are yet to comment on the news.Real estate firm Ellis Partners bought the former industrial property in 2022 for $13.5m, with Colovore set to lease the building as an upcoming data center.
Built around 1974, Colovore is using the 29,100 sq ft (2,705 sqm) site as its recently opened SJC02 facility.
Launched in 2013, Colovore carved out an early niche for liquid-cooled racks capable of up to 35kW. The company opened its original single-story, 24,000 sq ft (2,230 sqm) facility in San Jose in 2014, with the last 2MW expansion announced in February 2022.
First announced in November 2022, SJC02 officially opened in March this year. The 3060 Raymond facility is located adjacent to Colovore’s original data center at 1101 Space Park Drive. The new site can support densities up to 250kW per cabinet through a combination of rear door and direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
Previously owned by Digital Realty Trust and Silicon Valley real estate development firm Pelio & Associates, investment firm King Street acquired Colovore last year.
At the time of the acquisition, the company noted plans to expand and has since detailed plans for facilities in Reno, Nevada, and Chicago, Illinois. Ground has reportedly been broken on the Reno site.
Colovore also recently filed to develop a facility in the Hutto area of Austin, Texas, but is yet to officially announce the project.
Cerebras, Lambda Labs, and Cirrascale, amongst others, are known customers of Colovore.
