Dallas Based Data Center Investment Firm Acquires Majority Interest in Data Center Design, Engineering, and Facilities Management Group

The Acquisition Will Expand Lincoln Rackhouse’s Portfolio by 320,000 Square Feet and 16MW of IT Power

Lincoln Rackhouse and Principal Real Estate Investors have acquired a one million-square-foot data center portfolio in Dallas, Phoenix and Kansas City, MO, from a Fortune 500 financial institution, which has partially leased back the Tier III+ space in two of the three markets.

American cloud and colocation provider Internap (INAP) has taken a master lease in a 191,061 square foot (17,750 sq m) data center in Chandler, near Phoenix, Arizona.

The facility, built to Tier III standards, comes with Bank of America as an anchor tenant, and is leased from Lincoln Rackhouse, which acquired the site earlier this year.

Unnamed mobile network provider to get a new place for its switches: Dallas-based data center developer Lincoln Rackhouse is about to break ground on a 35,000 square foot (3,251 sq m) telecommunications facility in Sunrise, Florida, being built for an unnamed US mobile network provider.

Evocative provides a mix of data center services, including colocation, private and hybrid cloud solutions, network and security services, managed services, and public cloud connectivity (via partnerships with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform). The Reston site gives East Coast presence to the predominantly West Coast data center provider that’s been expanding since last year. Evocative plans more acquisitions and a national IP backbone.
