Prime Data Centers
NEW SACRAMENTO DATA CENTER CAMPUS
Prime Data Centers, a wholesale
data center real estate developer
and operator, caters to the
enterprise and retail co-location
markets. Embracing a concept of
“partnership as a service,” Prime will
tailor a lease or ownership model to meet
the unique needs of the client, including
build to suit, joint venture, sale leaseback,
and complete turnkey development.
Founded by CEO Nicholas Laag in 2017,
this San Francisco-based company
recently completed a new data center at
McClellan Park. It’s the only Sacramentoarea
data center outside the 500-year
flood plain. “We selected Sacramento,
and specifically McClellan Park, because
it provides an excellent combination of
affordability, connectivity, and safety,”
says Laag. “Sacramento has close to zero
seismic risk, enjoys reliable, sustainable,
and affordable power from SMUD, and has
access to world-class talent. The Qualified
Opportunity Zone is another attractive
aspect that we can help our clients leverage
for TCO savings.”
Clients include mid-size to large
enterprises wishing to avoid owning and
managing their own data center assets. For
them, Prime can either buy then lease back
an existing asset, or lease them space in a
Prime facility. Other clients are retail colocation
providers, for whom Prime supplies
the facility so those clients can provide
value-add IT services. Clients can expect
significant savings over data centers in the
San Francisco Bay Area, while lowering risk.
“We partner with leading enterprises from
all industries to strengthen their missioncritical
infrastructure and improve the
economic benefit of those assets,” says Laag.
Prime Data Centers looks forward to fully
leasing out phase one of the McClellan
Park facility and beginning construction
on phases two and three over the next
couple of years. Anyone interested in their
Sacramento facility, or any other site, is
encouraged to get in touch.
“Large enterprises
are beginning
to recognize
the value of
Sacramento as a
data backup site to
the San Francisco
Bay Area.”
