Iron Mountain has topped out its first data center in Miami, Florida.

“We've officially topped out on the new MIA-1 facility, bringing us one step closer to providing a state-of-the-art solution for our customers in South Florida and beyond,” the company said this week on LinkedIn.

The facility, known as MIA-1, will deliver 16MW of capacity across 150,000 sq ft (13,935 sqm) on a 3.4-acre site in Miami's District 12.

Announced in November 2023, the company broke ground on the project in February of this year. The facility is due to go live in 2026.

The site was previously home to an Iron Mountain records facility.

Brasfield & Gorrie is the general contractor on the project.

Iron Mountain operates in 61 countries and has around 415MW of colocation and hyperscale capacity in 21 markets across seven countries and three continents. The company said it has a potential capacity of nearly 1.3GW.

Miami is home to numerous operators such as ColoHouse, Digital Realty, Hivelocity, DataBank, Cogent, EdgeConneX, CoreSite, QTS, Lumen, Verizon, and Equinix.
