Terremark (AMEX:TWW)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jun 2019 to Jun 2024
Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW) a leading operator of integrated
Internet exchanges and a global provider of managed IT infrastructure
solutions for government and private sectors, announced today that it
has secured a 30-acre site in Culpeper County, Virginia to build a new
state-of-the-art data center campus fulfilling the company’s
stated objective to expand in the Washington, D.C. area.
Terremark has designed a master plan for the site that will allow for
modular growth of the campus based on customer demand. The master plan
calls for five data center facilities that can each yield approximately
50,000 square feet of colocation space. Each facility would be a highly
secured stand alone structure that could house either commercial or
Federal government customers. The site, which is strategically located
outside of the “blast zone”,
will be designed to the strictest security standards mandated by the
Federal government, including significant perimeter set backs.
This site will be directly linked to Terremark’s
flagship facility the NAP of the Americas in Miami, providing customers
with access to the full range of networks and services in that facility,
including the commercial sector and Federal government Network
Operations Centers (NOCs). The data center will feature state-of-the-art
physical infrastructure consistent with Terremark’s
other Internet exchanges including high power density to meet the needs
of the servers use by today’s growing IP,
video and other IT applications.
As previously disclosed, Terremark anticipates that the build-out of the
first data center facility will require an initial investment of $55
million to $60 million. The timing of the investment in each additional
data center facility will be based on additional customer demand.
The Company expects to fund the purchase price of $4.4 million with the
proceeds of the interim financing announced last week. Pursuant to the
interim financing, Credit Suisse has agreed to purchase the site in
Culpeper and lease it back to Terremark. Terremark will have the option
to purchase the property from Credit Suisse at the original purchase
price plus accrued interest.
”Terremark has been evaluating a number of
locations for its new data center facility in the Washington/Virginia
area for some time,” said Manuel D. Medina,
Chairman of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. “The
Culpeper County site has great attributes and supports our long-term
objectives to solidify our market leadership and expansion program as
well as meet our customers’ growing demands.”
In an official ceremony held today in Culpeper County, Virginia Governor
Tim Kaine said, “Terremark’s
new campus will be among the largest colocation data center sites in the
United States. High tech expansions of this caliber are a focus of my
administration and the high-paying jobs it will generate will be a great
asset to the region.”
The company plans to break ground in June of 2007 and anticipates it
will begin deploying customers during the June 2008 quarter.
