History

edit

Sabey Corporation was founded in 1972 by Dave Sabey and initially focused on commercial real estate development and construction across the Pacific Northwest.[1] The dedicated data-center business emerged in the 2000s and grew through acquisitions and new campus developments.

In June 2011, Sabey acquired the 32-story former Verizon/NY Telephone building at 375 Pearl Street in Manhattan and began its conversion into an urban data-center facility.[3][4] The retrofit opened in 2013.[5]

In April 2020, Sabey issued US$800 million of securitized notes backed by data-center revenues to refinance debt and support expansion.[6][7]

On January 1, 2025, Sabey announced that Tim Mirick would assume the role of president of Sabey Data Centers, succeeding Rob Rockwood.[8]

Structure and ownership

edit

Sabey Data Center Properties, LLC is the joint-venture entity between Sabey Corporation and National Real Estate Advisors that owns and operates the data-center assets.[9] In September 2023, the joint venture announced plans for a 100 MW+ campus in Umatilla, Oregon.[10]

Operations

edit

Sabey develops and operates carrier-neutral multi-tenant colocation facilities, powered-shell and build-to-suit data centers.[11] Its operations emphasise energy efficiency, modular build-to-suit capability, and a vertically integrated design-build-operate model. A case study by the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) documents efficiency upgrades at the Intergate Manhattan facility.[12]

Locations

edit

As of 2025, Sabey lists campuses or facilities in the following U.S. markets:

  • Seattle, Washington (formerly Intergate.East): 1.2 million square feet across multiple buildings and 54 MW of capacity. Originally developed (and purchased) by American aerospace company Boeing, but repurchased by Sabey in 1999.[13]
  • Quincy & East Wenatchee, Washington (Intergate): Columbia River region campuses powered primarily by hydroelectricity.
  • Ashburn, Virginia:Third building under construction in 2025, targeting 54 MW for that building and ~85 MW total campus capacity.[14][15]
  • New York City: Intergate Manhattan at 375 Pearl Street, a retrofitted telecom building opened in 2013.[5]
  • Austin metro, Texas (Round Rock): Campus completed first building in October 2024 with 430,000 sq ft and up to 84 MW critical power.[16][17]
  • Umatilla, Oregon: Planned 60-acre, 100 MW+ site in development.[10]

Notable projects

edit
  • Intergate Manhattan (375 Pearl Street), New York City — Urban retrofit project converting a former telecom building into a modern data-center facility.[3]
  • SDC Austin (Round Rock), Texas — Campus supporting high-density workloads and liquid cooling, up to 84 MW build-out.[18]

Finance

edit

In 2020, Sabey issued approximately US$800 million in securitized notes backed by tenant leases to raise capital for expansion.[6]

Sustainability

edit

Sabey emphasises design for energy efficiency and modularity. A NYSERDA case study documents efficiency upgrades at the Intergate Manhattan site.[12] In October 2025, the company announced 70 MW of additional capacity across six U.S. campuses.[19]

Community and regional impact

edit

In 2025, a proposed Sabey-affiliated data-center project near San Marcos, Texas, drew local scrutiny over water-supply and environmental impacts.[20]

Sabey is reported to be leasing ICE office space in Tukwila.[21]
