Dallas-based DataBank\u2014a leading data center provider of enterprise-class colocation, interconnection, and managed services\u2014has formed a joint venture with Sydney, Australia-based Goodman Group to enable the launch of a new 32MW data center in metro Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles is one of America\u2019s \u201cmost supply-constrained data center markets,\u201d DataBank noted. The new data center, located in the suburb of Vernon just south of the city, will meet the growing demand for high-density, scalable data center capacity that the L.A. region is currently seeing from cloud, AI, and enterprise customers.<\/p>\n

The site is slated to open in December with the first 6MW available and the remaining 26MW coming online in stages through to September 2027, DataBank said. The site adds to DataBank\u2019s existing development pipeline of more than 850MW across major U.S markets including Dallas, New York, Atlanta, Kansas City, Houston, and Northern Virginia, the company added.<\/p>\n

DataBank CEO Raul Martynek said his company is \u201cexcited to be partnering with Goodman to bring critically needed AI-ready data center capacity to enterprises in the Los Angeles market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with Goodman\u2019s development expertise,\u201d he added in a statement, \u201cwe\u2019re able to accelerate our expansion in the market and deliver a world-class data center that will serve hyperscale, AI, and enterprise customers with the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence they expect from DataBank.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony Rozic, CEO of Goodman North America, said that \u201cpower, sites, and capital are critical to being able to build into demand and provide delivery certainty for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVernon is a landmark project for Goodman in North America and a key component in our local data center strategy, where we procured the site, power, and capital to bring it to the advanced stage it is today,\u201d Rozic added. \u201cBy partnering with DataBank, utilizing its proven platform and its relationships with more than 2500 enterprise customers, we can optimize the delivery of this critical digital infrastructure to the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joint venture to be expanded across U.S.<\/p>\n

The Vernon data center is \u201cjust the first\u201d for the companies\u2019 joint venture, as both intend to expand the relationship through the development of additional sites in capacity constrained markets across the U.S., DataBank said.<\/p>\n

The joint venture establishes a strategic partnership that leverages the strengths of both parties, combining capital, with development, leasing and operational excellence, DataBank added, noting that Goodman has delivered large-scale complex infrastructure around the world. Goodman acquired the Vernon site in 2023, securing power, planning and entitlements, and designed the Vernon facility, which sits within Goodman\u2019s 6.0 GW global power bank.<\/p>\n

Goodman will complete the Vernon development as part of its projected work-in-progress of $12.4 billion spanning both industrial and low latency data centers in major metro markets across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. \u00a0<\/p>\n

DataBank will operate the new Vernon site\u2014its second in the L.A. market\u2014adding to its infrastructure platform of over 70 data centers and interconnection sites in over 25 U.S. markets. DataBank has a 20-year history of data center leasing, operational excellence, and industry-leading customer satisfaction, the company said.<\/p>\n

In January 2025, DataBank announced a $250 million equity investment<\/a> from New York-based TJC LP, as well as a $600 million secondary share offering. Last June, DataBank announced that 1,000 full-time employees had been made \u201cpart owners\u201d of\u00a0 the company<\/a> via a new broad-based employee ownership program.<\/p>\n
