The pair is developing Cornerway Telecom Place, a 440,000-sf carrier hotel for multiple Internet data centers and telecommunications companies at 1610 Cornerway Blvd. Formerly known as the Solo Serve headquarters and distribution facility, the two-story "duplex" structure will be fully operational by Dec.1.

Officials say the "duplex" nature of the facility makes it the first of its kind in the area. Tenants can isolate support equipment on a separate floor, thereby maximizing leasable equipment and revenue streams. Additionally, the facility's size and scalable nature facilitates growth from a single location to meet future power needs.

San Antonio continues to attract more and more telecommunications companies to the city, brokers say, partly due to the abundance of low-cost power and real estate. Yet there is a tremendous shortage of space for these companies because the building criteria necessary for operation is so demanding.
