Site History

  • November 2024: Hamilton approved Logistix Property Group's plan for a data center in University Commerce Park.
  • 2025: The project moved to the adjacent 29.2-acre city-owned parcel at 1380 University Boulevard and grew to a planned 320,000 sq ft, $1 billion-plus campus. Wharton Equity Partners and its LightHouse Data Centers platform took over as lead developers.
  • December 2025: The City of Hamilton, which runs its own electric utility, said it would buy the power on the open market and pass the full cost to the developer.
  • January 2026: A city study found the municipal system could not serve the full load for at least two years. The developer asked the city to pause further studies.
  • May 2026: Wharton ended its development agreement with the city. The city still owns the parcel and has no project planned for it.
