US data centre operator CyrusOne has sold four existing data centres in the Houston, Texas, area to DigitalBridge's DataBank, for a total of USD 670 million. For DataBank, Houston is the 27th US metro market in its portfolio. The four facilities will together add over 300,000 square feet of raised-floor data centre capacity, and 42.5 MW of critical IT load, plus customers from the area’s healthcare, financial, energy, media, and software sectors. DataBank now has more than 65 facilities and 2.0M square feet of raised-floor data center capacity.
The four Houston facilities include the data centre located on 4201 Southwest Freeway, known as the CyrusOne Galleria, and three others known as West I, West II, and West III, all located on the Westway Park Blvd Campus. The Houston West Campus is also the metro’s primary interconnection point with over 30 fiber networks, 3,500 cross connects and public cloud on-ramps from AWS and Google.
The transaction is expected to close later this quarter.
