US data center firm RadiusDC has broken ground on a new colocation facility in Nashville, Tennessee.

The groundbreaking ceremony, held September 4, was attended by executives from RadiusDC, Blue Owl Capital, DPR Construction, as well as other design and community partners.

Nashville I, located on approximately 12 acres of land in the Trinity Hills area of Nashville, will deliver 12MW of critical power across a 102,500 square-foot (9,500 sqm), purpose-built facility.

First announced in March, Nashville I will begin leasing in the second half of 2025 with plans to open in 2026.

When complete, RaduisDC said it will be the largest and newest colocation facility in Nashville proper. The company said it will feature enhanced cooling to support higher-density deployments and a closed-loop cooling system.

“This project is more than infrastructure. It’s an investment in Nashville’s community, people, and digital innovation,” said Mike Krza, CEO of RadiusDC. “We’re proud to deliver local connectivity that enhances everyday applications and user experiences. This facility reflects our commitment to meeting customers where they need colocation services most, with secure, scalable, and highly connected infrastructure designed for today’s demands and tomorrow’s technologies.”

Previous reports suggest the company acquired a 12-acre site at 2902 and 2906 Brick Church Pike in Nashville for just over $5 million.

IPI Partners first launched RadiusDC in 2022 as an Edge firm, focusing on metro markets. IPI was acquired by Blue Owl last year.

RadiusDC’s existing footprint includes data centers in Denver, Colorado, and Miami, Florida. The company acquired its Miami facility in August last year. It announced plans to expand its 1500 Champa facility in Denver earlier this year.

Nashville is currently home to operators such as Flexential, Centersquare, EdgeConneX, H5, Meta, DataBank, and Lumen.
