National Real Estate Advisors has made a significant equity investment in Sabey Data Center Properties, LLC (“SDCP”). Unique in that the real inventory of underlying assets is more properly measured in electrical power capacity than in square feet, the Sabey investment’s unique characteristics are a first from the institutional investment community.
 

Sabey Corporation, National’s partner, is the largest private data center owner/developer in the country, with an impressive tenant list including Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, T-Mobile, VMware, and Savvis. Located in Washington State, the physical facilities encompass approximately 1.7 million square feet of data center space in eleven buildings situated on 215 acres.  

SDCP controls 150 megawatts of hydro-electric power. This “green” energy is made available to SDCP tenants at some of the lowest prices per kilowatt hour in the country, a decided advantage for tenants in an industry where electrons are the “oxygen” that fuels commerce.
 

SDCP’s commitment to lowering its overall carbon footprint is exemplified by “Building B” at the Columbia data center complex, within SDCP’s “Intergate” series of campuses. This facility is supported by 22 megawatts of utility power and recently obtained a Gold LEED certification. 
 

The partners intend to aggressively expand the existing data center platform, domestically, in a manner consistent with responsible environmental stewardship.
