1888 Press Release - Data center considered prime fiber optic hub.

Dallas - Velocis, a private equity real estate manager, has purchased 701 Trade Street, a telecom carrier hotel and data center in downtown Charlotte. This is Velocis' second asset purchased in North Carolina.

"Velocis capitalized on a unique opportunity to secure this property for its important location at the cross roads of Charlotte's colocation and connectivity network," said Jim Yoder, Velocis Principal. "The asset's status as a prime fiber optic hub combined with the abundant power and security the building offers tenants, creates a significant untapped opportunity."

The two-story building, which offers expansion opportunities, was built in 1968 and is currently more than 80 percent leased. Significant long-haul fiber routes originate from all directions through the building and it draws a wide array of telecommunications and colocation data center users. Additionally, it is ideally located close to multiple data centers and telecommunication companies including the area's main AT&T switch.

Velocis partnered with Lincoln Property Company on the acquisition. "Charlotte offers a dense telecommunication infrastructure that is on par with any Tier 1 city," said Martin Peck of Lincoln's data center division, Lincoln Rackhouse. The facility will be leased and managed by Lincoln Harris.
