Data center investment firm Aphorio Carter this week announced the acquisition of data centers in Louisville and Simpsonville for a combined purchase price of approximately $35 million. The two properties operate as enterprise data centers occupied by the same Fortune 200 tenant.
Each data center supports up to 1MW of critical IT load with an N+1 UPS configuration and a PUE of 1.7. Both sites feature dual 3,300HP, 2MW generators, and two utility feeds; from LG&E at the Louisville facility and Kentucky Utilities at the Simpsonville facility.
"These data center investments expand Aphorio Carter's portfolio into the Louisville market with strong fundamentals, further enhancing portfolio diversification. Louisville is emerging as a prime data center market, offering a strategic blend of low operating costs, robust fiber infrastructure, and access to major markets like Chicago and Atlanta. With affordable energy, tax incentives, and a business-friendly environment, this market presents a compelling opportunity for long-term growth in the digital infrastructure sector," said John Regan, chief investment officer of Aphorio Carter.
