Layer 9 Data Centers is a Phoenix, Arizona-headquartered developer of hyperscale, multi-tenant data center capacity aimed at underserved Latin American markets, with its flagship and, as of 2026, only confirmed physical project being a data center campus in the Bajio region of Guanajuato, Mexico. Founded around 2020-2022 by industry veterans from Digital Realty, DuPont Fabros, and Equinix, the company’s core offering is powered-shell and build-to-suit wholesale space that cloud service providers and large enterprises lease and fit out themselves, rather than a retail cloud or GPU service Layer 9 operates and sells directly. Its signature project, known as “Project Falcon,” broke ground in October 2022 and was expanded from an initial 32-64MW plan into a 96MW master-planned campus spread across four buildings, positioned to capture cloud service provider demand migrating into the “Bajio corridor” between Querétaro and Guanajuato, which is often described as Mexico’s densest data center cluster. The company has stated ambitions to expand into other underserved LATAM and EMEA markets, but as of this research those remain forward-looking plans rather than confirmed operating facilities.
