>>One of the largest data centers ever proposed for Silicon Valley is breaking
ground in Santa Clara.
Washington, D.C., real estate development company Dupont Fabros
Technology Inc., a newcomer to the region, has begun construction on the
first phase of a proposed 600,000 square-foot complex at 555 Reed St.
The project, with an estimated $1 billion building value at completion, is a
striking example of the global construction boom in data centers.

Digital (Realty) is among those participating in the Silicon Valley data-center building boom. The company
has partnered with local data-center development guru Les Pelio of Pelio & Associates at 1500 Space
Park Drive in Santa Clara. Together they plan to start construction on 300,000 square feet of data
center space “any day now,” said Sutton Roley, a senior vice president and principal with the valley’s
CPS Corfac International and a leasing broker for the site. Another 74,000 square feet in the project
already has been leased.
Fifteen percent of Digital Realty’s annual revenue comes from Silicon Valley facilities, according to
public record.
A third Santa Clara data center complex with 350,000 square feet, including some offices, is also
being planned by CRG West, a division of The Carlyle Group. The first phase of its Santa Clara
complex begins construction this month.
The list of new Bay Area projects goes on. San Francisco-based 365 Main Inc., which owns five data
centers in Northern California, Arizona and Virginia, plans to start a 136,000-square-foot data
center in Newark “imminently,” said Miles Kelly, vice president of marketing and strategy. The
project has been “designed and permitted,” he said, but he declined to say how much it would cost
or whether it is purely speculative or partially leased.
