Facility Specifications and Future Plans
According to the company’s website, the South Bend Data Center, known as SBIN1, provides 2.9 MW of critical IT capacity and 75,000 sq ft of private and colocation space. There is a planned 1.6 MW increase of incremental power capacity (600 kW available in Q1 2026, 1 MW available in Q1 2028).
“This acquisition aligns with our strategy to expand our connectivity-focused portfolio and enhance our service offerings across the Midwest,” said J Todd Raymond, Chief Executive Officer of 1547. “Not only is South Bend a critical market for customers due to its proximity to major Chicago data hubs and its growing tech-driven economy, but the facility itself is deeply networked, making it ideal for businesses and enterprises with robust connectivity needs.”
Michael Borchetta, Managing Director in Transactions at Harrison Street added, “Sitting at the convergence of some of the largest fiber paths nationwide that provide connections for more than 20 carriers, Union Station offers robust existing infrastructure that is well-suited to address the needs of high-demand users in a region with limited existing supply.”
