Evoque partners with Archer Data Centers to develop 61 acre data centre campus outside Nashville

Evoque recently announced a partnership with Archer to develop a 61-acre facility near Nashville, Tennessee. The aim of the centre is  to bring to market over 100MW of power capacity and over 500,000 square feet of data centre space to meet the growing data center demands of the United States’ Central Southeast region. 

Evoque has earmarked $200mm to accelerate the expansion of the site, which includes a commitment to building a 100% renewable energy solution.The original 28.5 acre campus is anchored by an 82,000 square foot data centre shell, with over 40MW of available power today from Gallatin Department of Electricity’s (“GDE”) adjacent substation.

The initial project anticipates a 4-phased development, scalable on the existing site as well as an adjacent 32.8 acre parcel. The long-term expandability of 100+MW is possible in concert with the continuously updated transmission capacity of GDE and Tennessee Valley Authority (“TVA”), Evoque said in a statement. 

“The opportunity to expand into the Nashville market and to serve hyperscalers, cloud service providers, and large enterprises is exciting,” shares Evoque Chief Executive Officer Andy Stewart. “Archer, and their Founder Jordan Milman had great vision that has since been validated by Meta’s new data centre, which is adjacent to our location. Evoque looks forward to maximising the potential of this opportunity and to deliver more best-in-breed digital infrastructure solutions to more enterprises.”
