Colovore said RNO01, in Reno, Nevada, is pre-leasing now for a 2026 launch date.
Colovore is to expand its footprint of liquid-cooled colocation data centres beyond Silicon Valley and into Reno and Chicago.
The company this week announced its second facility in Santa Clara, California, will open next month, and confirmed the locations of its next two sites.
“We are staying ahead of AI and compute hardware needs with our robust power and liquid cooling design which we’ve now been successfully operating for 12 years,” said Co-founder Ben Coughlin. “We’re delighted to bring much-needed capacity to the constrained Silicon Valley market.”
On its website, Colovore said RNO01, in Reno, Nevada, is pre-leasing now for a 2026 launch date.
ORD01, in Chicago, Illinois, is pre-leasing now for a 2027 launch date.
Launched in 2013, Colovore carved out an early niche for liquid-cooled racks capable of up to 35kW. The company launched its original single-story, 24,000 sq ft (2,230 sqm) facility at 1101 Space Park Drive in Santa Clara in 2014, with the last 2MW expansion announced in February 2022.
The company announced plans to build a second, 9MW facility known as SJC02, on a neighbouring plot in November 2022. The facility, located at 3060 Raymond Street, is due to launch in December. SJC02 will support densities up to 250kW per cabinet through a combination of rear door and direct-to-chip liquid cooling.
“Our newest facility at 3060 Raymond is an evolution of our core design that will make it easy for enterprise clients to deploy the most advanced AI compute infrastructure,” added Co-founder Peter Harrison. “Customers from Fortune 500s to startups are investing significant money in their AI applications and services, but the reality is there are few data centres specifically engineered to support that infrastructure—and this is our specialty.”
Previously owned by Digital Realty Trust and Silicon Valley real estate development firm Pelio & Associates, investment firm King Street acquired the company earlier this year.
At the time of the acquisition, the company noted plans to expand and referenced a site in Nevada – Coughlin has previously mentioned Reno as a potential target market in interviews.
At the time, the companies mentioned plans to “quickly scale into additional Tier One markets” across the US. More markets are “on the way,” according to this week’s announcement.
Cerebras, Lambda Cloud, and Cirrascale, amongst others, are known customers of Colovore.
