Another Major Data Center Joins Reno Tech Hub

Posted by Brooke Sullivan on Friday, April 27th, 2018 at 10:37am

An 11 million-square-foot data center facility will be joining the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRIC).

 

EdgeCore has been granted $26.3 million in tax abatements by Nevada’s board of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. The company’s senior VP of investments said that EdgeCore is a startup with zero clients so far.

“Demand will continue and we want to position our platform accordingly,” said Matt Muell of EdgeCore.

Legacy and emerging industries in the Silver State have and will continue to rely increasingly on big data. Several experts have predicted that Nevada will need more data centers before too long in order for the new economy to continue maturing. The EdgeCore facility will have 225 MW capacity and will be built in phases, with construction beginning early next year.

Their very first data center facility broke ground in early March in Mesa, Arizona and the campus will start out with an 180,000 square-foot building. Eventually there will be a total of seven buildings with more than 1.25 million-square-feet in its final phase. EdgeCore has had its eye on Reno and Dallas for its next data center facilities, and other markets that they have yet to announce.

The company will invest more than $106 million in capital equipment by the end of their fifth year of operations and has plans to hire 50 employees by the end of the fifth year. Average wage of employees will be $23.68 per hour, according to its tax abatement application. During the same time period that EdgeCore’s tax abatements were approved, the Governor’s board also approved $11.4 million to other companies located in Northern Nevada in exchange for around $68 million in new tax revenue.
