Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The property is a specialty data center designed with two separated data center rooms, each served by four Liebert units and a 50 KVA UPS system. Power resilience includes two diesel generators, each with an 850-gallon tank capacity, supported by three Johnson Controls air handlers. The fire protection system is a dry sprinkler arrangement, and the roof was replaced in July 2014 with a 20-year warranty. Electrical one-line drawings are available upon request, with an NDA required prior to distribution. Equipment can generally remain, except for servers and network switches that will be removed.
The asset is located at 1205 Buckeye Avenue in Ames, Iowa, under an HOC zoning classification described as Highway Oriented Commercial. City of Ames utilities are in place. Operational access includes one loading dock with a hydraulic lift and one 8' x 8' overhead door. Fiber providers listed for the site include Lumen and Segra.
This facility is well suited for buyers or operators seeking a ready-built data center configuration with clearly documented mechanical and electrical support elements, including redundant power and separate rooms. The option for partial sale/leaseback is also noted, which may support arrangements where an owner retains partial operating involvement while transferring ownership of the facility.
