The company operates seven data centers located in five of the top six North American hubs for colocation services. One Wilshire, in Los Angeles, is the premier interconnection point between North America and Asia, and the most important property in CoreSite's portfolio.
The company completed its initial public offering on September 23rd, 2010. The offering raised about $310 million, which allowed the company to deleverage significantly and gave also the opportunity to fund several growth projects, which are expected to come online by middle 2011.
