US colocation provider DartPoints has acquired a data center campus in Lexington. The company announced this week that it had purchased the 29.5-acre property, though details about the seller, facility, and transaction value were not disclosed. Marking DartPoints’ first facility in Kentucky, the campus spans around 343,000 square feet and includes approximately 81,000 square feet of raised-floor data center space, along with an owned on-site substation.
DartPoints said the Lexington campus is being developed for compute-intensive workloads, with support for rack densities of up to 200kW. The facility will feature closed-loop air cooling and direct-to-chip liquid cooling technologies. The initial phase is expected to deliver between 20MW and 30MW of capacity, with long-term expansion potential reaching 70MW. The company said further planning and redevelopment work is ongoing, with accelerated ready-for-service timelines currently being finalized.
"Lexington gives us a rare combination of existing infrastructure, a supportive power environment, and the ability to scale in a meaningful way," said Scott Willis, president and CEO of DartPoints. "As AI, neo-cloud, and hyperscale demand continue to reshape the market, customers need sites that can support larger power footprints, denser deployments, and long-term growth. Lexington gives us that platform."
The Lexington market currently has only a small number of data centers, with Data Center Map listing four facilities operated by KUSI, Gearheart Communications, Windstream, and BluegrassNet. A former IBM / Lexmark data center in Lexington was also placed on the market last year. Built in 1977, the 29.5-acre property at 745 New Circle Road includes two buildings totaling 345,000 square feet, with nearly 82,000 square feet of raised-floor space. The site was reportedly sold in February for $6.3 million to Haymaker Company, which planned to reposition the property for light industrial or flex-space use.
