Sabey is starting vertical construction of a new data center in Oregon. Sabey Data Centers this week announced that the company was “going vertical” at its SDC Umatilla campus.
“Watching the first steel go up is always a significant moment because it turns years of planning, engineering and hard work into something you can finally see,” said Tim Mirick, president of Sabey Data Centers. “We are excited to build here, excited to become part of this community, and committed to serving our customers and this region for many years to come.”
Sabey’s 120MW data center campus is being developed in Umatilla, Oregon, near the Washington border. The company acquired 60 acres on Beach Access Road in 2023. The campus will feature two buildings, with the first 12MW expected to come online in 2027.
State Representative Bobby Levy said, “The construction of this new data center is an exciting investment in Northeast Oregon and a strong vote of confidence in our communities. Facilities like this keep our hospitals, schools, and small businesses connected while creating new economic opportunities. I'm especially pleased that Sabey's use of a closed-loop cooling system demonstrates that innovation and responsible resource stewardship can go hand in hand. We're proud to welcome Sabey Data Centers to Northeast Oregon.”
“At National, we focus on investments supported by strong fundamentals, experienced teams and the potential for long-term value creation,” said TJ Hofheimer, managing director, portfolio & asset management at National Real Estate Advisors. “We believe SDC Umatilla reflects those qualities, and we appreciate the collaboration among Sabey, local leaders and community stakeholders that has helped advance the project to this stage.”
