Harrison Street Asset Management and fifteenfortyseven Critical Systems Realty (1547) have reached a significant milestone at their Orangeburg, New York data center campus, achieving full occupancy following a phased, demand-driven expansion. The achievement highlights the continued demand for highly connected, low-latency digital infrastructure in the Greater New York market and reinforces Orangeburg’s growing role as a strategic hub for enterprise and financial services customers.
Located approximately 18 miles north of Manhattan, the purpose-built colocation facility has been expanded through a phased, demand-driven development strategy since Harrison Street and 1547 acquired the site in 2021. At the time of acquisition, the campus supported 3.7 megawatts of critical IT load. Since then, the joint venture has added roughly 14 megawatts of incremental capacity while increasing density across the existing 232,000-square-foot footprint.
The campus now supports approximately 18 megawatts of critical IT load and is operating at near-full utilization, driven largely by demand from financial institutions, high-frequency trading firms, hedge funds, and other organizations requiring ultra-low-latency connectivity into Manhattan and the broader metro region. The site also benefits from access to multiple terrestrial fiber routes and proximity to subsea cable landing infrastructure along the East Coast, making it an attractive destination for connectivity-focused workloads.
“With the facility now fully leased, each phase of development has been aligned to demonstrate customer demand,” said Michael Hochanadel, Head of Digital Assets at Harrison Street Asset Management. “Our partner delivered on schedule and within budget, while continuing to operate a critical data center with no downtime, reinforcing the strength of our collective platform.”
That disciplined approach has been central to how the Orangeburg campus has evolved. Rather than building ahead of demand, capacity has been delivered in step with customer needs, ensuring performance and reliability at every stage.
“Orangeburg is a prime example of what can be achieved through disciplined execution and close partnership,” said J. Todd Raymond, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of 1547. “From day one, our focus has been on delivering capacity in direct response to customer demand while maintaining the performance and reliability our clients depend on.”
With the facility fully leased, Harrison Street and 1547 are already advancing additional expansion plans to meet future customer demand. An additional 12-megawatt utility feed is currently under development, while the long-term roadmap for the campus includes a pre-approved 230,000-square-foot expansion supported by a planned on-site 60-megawatt substation.
As demand for low-latency, network-dense infrastructure continues to grow, projects like Orangeburg reflect a broader shift toward strategic, connectivity-rich locations that can scale in line with customer requirements. For Harrison Street and 1547, the continued momentum at Orangeburg further strengthens their growing data center platform and positions the campus for long-term growth.
