Telecommunications service provider DataVerge recently reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Brooklyn and Industry City — the borough’s only carrier-neutral interconnection facility, as well as one of the largest interconnected business and technology campuses in the country. The company signed a new lease spanning two decades to ensure that the connectivity service needs of the more than 550 companies operating out of Industry City would continue to be supported for years to come.
DataVerge is the preferred connectivity partner for Industry City, providing businesses with fiber infrastructure, connectivity, colocation, and cloud services, as well as direct access to a diverse ecosystem of carriers and network providers.
A thriving hub for innovation and collaboration, Industry City is a unique, one-stop destination spanning 35 acres and 16 campus buildings that was created through the redevelopment of the historic Bush Terminal complex at 892 3rd Ave. in Sunset Park. Nurturing a diverse, multigenerational community of designers, thinkers, and creators, the campus brings together emerging and established brands; artisans; and entrepreneurs that cross-pollinate across industries and fuel a uniquely innovative ecosystem.
“DataVerge’s carrier hotel and high-speed cabling infrastructure are essential amenities for our tenants, particularly those with multiple locations,” said Jeff Fein, senior vice president of leasing at Industry City. “We are thrilled that DataVerge will continue to provide secure data services and maintain the critical tech infrastructure that is crucial to success in today’s business landscape.”
The campus offers 6 million square feet of real estate that accommodates creative office space, workshops, fabrication labs, manufacturing centers, content studios, and more. As such, businesses large and small have a wide range of choices between flex and storage space; coworking and shared offices; and small, mid-sized, or large adaptable flex workspaces along the Brooklyn waterfront.
“By serving as the sole connectivity hub within Industry City and leveraging our vast network of over 30 carriers and network providers, we are uniquely positioned to meet the diverse connectivity needs of local businesses and the technology community,” said Ray Sidler, CEO and co-founder of DataVerge.
Notably, the company’s commitment to the Brooklyn campus extends beyond connectivity: DataVerge has made significant investments to deploy more than five miles of fiber optic cable throughout Industry City’s repurposed industrial space, thereby transforming the campus into a modern innovation hub. The expansive fiber network includes redundant paths for uninterrupted connectivity and ensures that companies can seamlessly access the latest technological advancements and collaborate effectively across the campus’ 16 buildings.
