Sabey Data Centers is a United States-based company engaged in the development, ownership and operation of multi-tenant data centers. It is the data-center business unit of Sabey Corporation, a privately held real-estate and development group based in Tukwila, Washington.[1] The company reports managing more than 3.5 million square feet of data center space and nearly 400 megawatts of capacity across the U.S.[2]
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
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
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
As of 2025, Sabey lists campuses or facilities in the following U.S. markets:
- Seattle, Washington (Intergate Seattle) — More than 1 million square feet across multiple buildings and about 54 MW of capacity.[13]
- Quincy & East Wenatchee, Washington — 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
Finance
In 2020, Sabey issued approximately US$800 million in securitized notes backed by tenant leases to raise capital for expansion.[6]
Sustainability
Community and regional impact
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]
