CoreSite currently operates two Bay Area data centers, as well as eight other facilities across the United States. The new three-building campus at 2901 Coronado Dr. is designed to gain LEED Gold certification. In addition to energy efficient design, CoreSite Santa Clara will offer security features such as mantraps, CCTV surveillance and biometric scanners.

CoreSite executives were unavailable Thursday do discuss the specific location of the property and whether any of the space has been pre-leased. The company builds and manages data centers and currently provides two million square feet of wholesale data center space and collocation services to 500 customers.

By expanding in Santa Clara, CoreSite is playing on the home field of Digital Realty Trust, a publicly traded data Center REIT headquartered in San Francisco. Digital Realty has been expanding in the Bay Area as well, but mostly by acquisition, and is a much larger player with 13.8 million square feet in 77 properties in 27 markets throughout Europe and North America.
