Liquid-cooled data center provider Colovore has begun work on its first facility outside California.

The company this week announced it has broken ground on its RN01 facility in Reno, Nevada.

The 20MW site is set to launch in late 2025/early 2026. The site will offer densities of up to 250kW per rack through direct-to-chip and rear-door cooling.

"Colovore was built on the philosophy of staying ahead of customer needs, ensuring that infrastructure never becomes a bottleneck," said president and co-founder Sean Holzknecht. "Our Silicon Valley-adjacent Reno data center continues that mission, providing seamless scalability for the most demanding and high-performance workloads.”

Launched in 2013, Colovore carved out an early niche for liquid-cooled racks capable of up to 35kW. The company launched its original single-story, 24,000 sq ft (2,230 sqm) facility at 1101 Space Park Drive in Santa Clara, California in 2014, with the last 2MW expansion announced in February 2022.

The company announced plans to build a second 9MW facility, known as SJC02, on a neighboring plot in November 2022. The facility, located at 3060 Raymond Street, is due to launch soon. SJC02 will support densities up to 250kW per cabinet through a combination of rear door and direct-to-chip liquid cooling.

Previously owned by Digital Realty Trust and Silicon Valley real estate development firm Pelio & Associates, investment firm King Street acquired the company last year.

At the time of the acquisition, the company noted plans to expand and has since detailed plans for facilities in Reno, Nevada, and Chicago, Illinois.

At the time, the companies mentioned plans to “quickly scale into additional Tier One markets” across the US. Colovore recently filed to develop a facility in the Hutto area of Austin, Texas, but is yet to officially announce the project.

Cerebras, Lambda Labs, and Cirrascale, amongst others, are known customers of Colovore.
