WEST CHICAGO-CenterPoint Properties has broken ground on a 62,000-sf data center at the DuPage National Technology Park. It is a build-to-suit facility for Lake Forest-based Cyber Continuity Center and the first of 20 such facilities that company plans to roll out nationwide.

CenterPoint will construct and sell the shell, and Cyber Continuity will fit the building with redundant security capabilities and the equipment to support 4.8 watts of critical load, according to Jack Pressman, Cyber Continuity’s chief technical officer. While CenterPoint’s Matthew Tramel declined to disclose the price Cyber Continuity will pay for the shell, Pressman tells GlobeSt.com his company’s total investment in the facility is $60 million. It is expected to open in spring 2007.

The building will exceed requirements for a Tier III data-center designation, which is based on standards for secure data storage developed by the Santa Fe, NM-based Uptime Institute. The center will also provide businesses with primary or back-up disaster-recovery data storage and services.
