165 Halsey Street celebrates 25th anniversary

Leading Newark, NJ data centre has provided affordable colocation space, power and quality interconnection to enterprises since 1999.

165 Halsey Street, a dedicated 1.2 million square foot data centre, colocation and telecom carrier hotel offering affordable space, power and interconnection services, is celebrating its 25th anniversary as a premier telecom location offering colocation services and raw data centre space in the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro region.

“We are excited to celebrate the milestone year of 25 years in the colocation business,” said James Fitzgerald, Director for Tishman Real Estate Services for 165 Halsey Street. “For a quarter of a century, 165 Halsey Street has been the go-to solution for enterprises seeking to improve connectivity and reduce latency as data demands continue to rise.

“With access to more than 60 leading networks and providers, our customers enjoy no monthly recurring cross connect fees allowing secure, convenient and affordable interconnection. We are proud to continue offering top-notch colocation services that expand and improve along with these data demands and current climate.” 

Originally, 165 Halsey Street was a vacant department store when it was purchased in 1996 by a well-capitalised and successful investment group. The building contained a tremendous amount of growth opportunity with features such as large floor plates (87,000 square feet), heavy floor loads, high ceilings, redundant riser capabilities, great column spacing, full basement for fuel tanks and seven distinct Points of Entry (POEs).

Recognising the opportunity for a dedicated data centre facility, the team at 165 Halsey Street quickly transformed the property into a fully operational as a data centre, colocation and telecom carrier hotel by 1999. Since then, the site has morphed into a first-class, full-service colocation business of over 360,000 square feet.
