CIM Group sells portfolio of four US data centres
CIM Group has announced it has sold four of its data centres in New York, Illinois, and Wyoming to a joint venture between Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, and fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty
Located in Chicago, Illinois; Orangeburg, New York; and Cheyenne, Wyoming, the portfolio assets make up more than 560,000 square feet of well-located data centre space offering abundant fibre connectivity in leading data centre markets in the U.S.
“Under CIM Group’s ownership, this portfolio has become stabilised and has substantially increased in value. These assets benefited from CIM’s sourcing, in-house operational expertise, and the team’s focused management and ability to assess and implement property modifications and additions,” said Avi Shemesh, Co-Founder and Principal, CIM Group.
1547 was CIM’s former joint venture partner in the portfolio. CIM continues to own and operate data centre properties in San Francisco, California and Toronto, Ontario in partnership with 1547. In addition, in 2020 CIM Group made a major commitment to Novva to share in its development of a 1.5-million-square-foot data centre campus in Utah and other campuses.
