DartPoints announced the acquisition of a data center campus in Lexington, Kentucky, expanding its footprint and strengthening its ability to support growing demand from artificial intelligence, hyperscale, neo-cloud, and enterprise customers.
The Lexington campus spans approximately 343,000 square feet across 29.5 acres and includes about 81,000 square feet of existing raised-floor data center space. The property is fully zoned for data center operations and features an owned on-site substation, creating a foundation for phased redevelopment and future capacity expansion.
DartPoints plans to develop the site to accommodate a range of next-generation workloads, including hyperscale, neo-cloud, enterprise AI, inference AI, and other compute-intensive applications. Initial development plans provide a path to approximately 20–30 megawatts of capacity, with long-term expansion potential reaching 70 megawatts.
The company said the future campus is being designed to support dense computing environments with up to 200 kilowatts per rack, 415V power distribution, and cooling infrastructure capable of supporting both traditional air-cooled deployments and direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems utilizing closed-loop, low-water-use heat rejection.
According to DartPoints, Lexington was selected because of its combination of existing data center infrastructure, utility support, zoning readiness, and room for future growth. The site also benefits from collaboration with Kentucky Utilities, LG&E, and local economic development organizations, helping accelerate development timelines compared with a typical greenfield project.
The acquisition aligns with DartPoints’ broader growth strategy as it expands its ability to serve customers with increasingly power-intensive infrastructure requirements. The company expects the site to support a wide range of deployments, from enterprise AI workloads to large-scale neo-cloud and hyperscale environments.
DartPoints also highlighted the campus’s location between major connectivity hubs including Ashburn, Virginia, Chicago, Illinois, and Atlanta, Georgia, which will provide customers with access to robust connectivity and peering opportunities for data-intensive applications.
Additional planning and redevelopment efforts are underway, with service availability timelines currently being finalized.
KEY QUOTES:
“Lexington gives us a rare combination of existing infrastructure, a supportive power environment and the ability to scale in a meaningful way. As AI, neo-cloud and hyperscale demand continue to reshape the market, customers need sites that can support larger power footprints, denser deployments and long-term growth. Lexington gives us that platform.”
