Global data center provider CyrusOne has announced that a Fortune 50 company has pre-leased more than 12,000 square feet of colocation space – with first right of refusal on another 8,000 square feet – at its new data center facility in the city of Sterling in Loudon County Virginia.
The pre-sale represents a third of the 30,000 square feet of colocation space that will come online for the first phase of the 124,000 square foot building the company broke ground on in April.
“This is a current tenant in one of our other colocation facilities that appreciates the scalability and flexibility we can deliver, and has chosen to expand their footprint with us in Northern Virginia,” said Tesh Durvasula, chief commercial officer, CyrusOne. “CyrusOne’s scalable Massively Modular engineering design approach, with its ability to support future infrastructure growth were key contributors to the decision.”
