DataBank has acquired the building housing its EWR2 data center in Piscataway, New Jersey, converting the previously leased facility into an owned asset. The acquisition reflects the company’s broader strategy to gain ownership control over real estate supporting its edge data center footprint.
The EWR2 facility, located at 25 Corporate Place South, offers 3MW of capacity across 22,590 square feet of raised floor space. Built in 1985, the air-cooled facility supports densities up to 10kW and features seven on-site carriers. The building was previously operated by Zayo’s zColo before DataBank acquired zColo in December 2020.
“This acquisition marks another milestone in our broader strategy to own and control the real estate supporting our edge data center footprint. Ownership allows us to control our destiny, ensuring we can continue to invest in and evolve our facilities in step with our customers’ growing infrastructure needs.”
— Raul K. Martynek, CEO of DataBank
Real estate investment trust GTJ REIT sold the property for $16 million in a deal that closed by March 2025. The facility serves customers including New Jersey Institute of Technology, which hosts its Wulver High-Performance Computing environment there. DataBank operates one other data center in New Jersey, located in downtown Newark.
