Real estate firm Oppidan Investment Company is planning a new data center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

First reported by BizJournal, Oppidan is planning a 90,000 sq ft (8,361 sqm) facility along Daytona Road NW.

A project page on Power Design’s website and planning documents suggest the facility will total 10MW.

Project general contractor PARIC Corporation told BJ it expects to complete the data center by the winter of 2025.

Oppidan acquired the 10-acre site, located within the Westpointe 40 Business Park, in September 2024 from Titan Development.

“Titan’s strategic decision to sell land is often an effort to attract the right end-users to the area, creating jobs and strengthening the local economy,” Titan Development partner Brian Patterson told BJ.

Minnesota-based Oppidan is a property development firm. Its data center clients in the past have reportedly included Oracle, several unnamed telcos, Bell Canada brand Bell Alliant, and Sabey Corp.

It has been involved with projects in Memphis, Tennessee; an AWS project in California; and, in 2022, acquired four plots in Santa Clara alongside Harrison Street set to be developed into a 50MW data center.

The company has been busy on numerous smaller projects across the US in the last year. Oppidan recently filed to build a 5MW facility in El Paso, Texas, and broke ground on a 90,000 sq ft (8,360 sqm) data center in Chicago, Illinois. It also has projects in Eagan and Apple Valley, Minnesota; Reno, Nevada; and Temple, Texas.

On its website, Oppidan lists a subsidiary known as Connect Data Centers. The recently formed unit says it has delivered data centers totaling 650MW and 2.28 million sq ft (211,819 sqm) across California, Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Ohio, Iowa, and Kansas since 2016. It says it has a further 720MW and 2.96 million sq ft (274,993 sqm) worth of projects in development across the US.

Operators in Albuquerque include H5 and Centersquare, with Meta operating a campus in the area.
