Firm may add space at data center

Equinix Inc., which operates data storage facilities, may lease another 20,000 square feet at the Lakeside Technology Center, 350 E. Cermak Rd., according to a recent report from Tier1Research.com. Foster City, Calif.-based Equinix delivered exceptional results in 2008, CEO Steve Smith said in a release, “creating a strong platform for growth in 2009.” The space became available, Tier1Research.com says, after Denver-based high speed internet provider Qwest Communications International Inc. vacated one floor last year in the 1.13-million-square-foot facility, which is owned by San Francisco-based Digital Realty Trust Inc. Equinix did not return a call. Digital Realty declined to confirm that Equinix is considering taking more space.
