“The rapidly expanding Hillsboro data center market offers a host of advantages to hyperscale and large enterprise customers, especially as compared to other Western data center locations,” says Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned.

“Hillsboro offers a business-friendly environment, affordable power and renewable energy options, diverse metro and long-haul connectivity to major cities and tech hubs such as Los Angeles, Seattle, and Silicon Valley, as well as proximity to international subsea cable networks that reduce latency between the U.S. and high-growth markets in the Asia-Pacific region.”

Aligned New Hillsboro Campus

Aligned has planned the campus for two new buildings; the initial phase of the Hillsboro campus is expected to offer 72 MW capacity, and the second building is currently planned for 36 MW. Location within the region of the State of Oregon’s Enterprise Zone program, the New campus is a new digital infrastructure investment in the area.

Hillsboro has no state, city, or county sales taxes, and Oregon’s Enterprise Zone program offers property tax reduction to data centers for up to five years, bringing new facilities, equipment, and employment to the region.
