3000 Skyline Dallas, a 770,000-square-foot data center development, is on schedule for a launch of phase one in the first quarter of 2010. Located in the City of Mesquite, Texas, nine miles from the Dallas CBD, the facility boasts its own on-site substation that will feature 100 million watts of power provided by Oncor Electric Delivery Company.
The facility is a development of Dallas-based CAPSTAR Commercial Real Estate Services and The Cambay Group, based in Walnut Creek, CA.
When completed, 3000 Skyline Dallas is projected to be one of the country’s five most powerful data centers, providing sufficient electrical power for any configuration today and for years to come, according to John Patterson, a CAPSTAR principal. The initial installation will provide 40 million watts of power.
The LEED-designed facility, divisible into four quadrants of 20 million volt amps each, will provide robust TIA-942 design standards for Tier III data centers. Each quadrant is equipped with separate internal entrance for individual user security, individual electrical distribution with redundant feeder circuits and a new FM I-90 roof. Scalable data center spaces are divisible from 45,000 square feet to 770,000 square feet.
“At the stage of development that we’re in, every detail is important,” said Bret Bunnett, CAPSTAR president. “But the most crucial element is the electric power provider, and we are very pleased with the cooperation and leadership we are experiencing with Oncor. They have been reassuring and thoroughly professional. We know that they’ll deliver what we require and more.”
The architectural firm of RTKL has designed the facility, and the firm of Thornton Tomasetti is providing structural engineering consulting. Additional information on 3000 Skyline Dallas may be found at www.3000skylinedallas.com. For more information on Oncor, visit www.oncor.com.
