Prime Data Centers is a privately held developer, owner and operator of wholesale and hyperscale data centers, selling powered shells, build-to-suit facilities and multi-tenant data halls to cloud providers, AI firms, large internet companies and Fortune 500 enterprises rather than operating a public cloud of its own. As of 2026 the company describes roughly four gigawatts of operational and planned critical power capacity across ten metro markets in the United States and Europe, including Los Angeles/Vernon, Silicon Valley, Sacramento, Dallas, Chicago, Phoenix, Austin, Frankfurt, Berlin, Madrid and the Nordics (Denmark). Its differentiator is a flexible, founder-owned financing model — joint ventures, sale-leasebacks and traditional leases — paired with large single-tenant and multi-tenant hyperscale buildings (commonly 20MW+ per building, scaling to 100MW+ campuses) rather than smaller retail colocation suites.

Prime's clearest AI-optimized facility is LAX01 in Vernon, California, which the company calls the city's first AI-ready data center; in late 2025 it began hosting NVIDIA Blackwell GPU infrastructure for AI cloud provider Lambda across six data halls. Several of Prime's newer campuses under development — including the Phoenix/Avondale campus and the proposed Esbjerg, Denmark megasite — are explicitly marketed as AI-ready with closed-loop or liquid cooling designed for high-density GPU workloads, though as of 2026 much of that capacity is still under construction rather than operational.

Common Questions
Does Prime Data Centers offer AI/GPU-specific infrastructure?
Yes. Prime's LAX01 campus in Vernon, California is described as the city's first AI-ready data center, and in November 2025 Prime announced a partnership with AI cloud provider Lambda to deploy high-density NVIDIA Blackwell GPU infrastructure there, with Lambda initially leasing 21MW of the facility's 33MW capacity across six data halls.
Where is Prime Data Centers headquartered?
Sources differ slightly: some listings describe Prime as headquartered in San Francisco, California, while the company's own website lists a corporate contact address at 400 North Ervay Street in Dallas, Texas.
What is Prime Data Centers' largest announced campus?
As of 2026, Prime's largest publicly announced project is the proposed ESB01 campus in Esbjerg, Denmark, for which Prime is seeking an assessed capacity of 550MW of IT load on a 640,000 sqm site, with a first phase of 160MW.
Is Prime Data Centers a colocation or cloud company?
Prime develops, acquires and operates wholesale and hyperscale data center buildings that it leases to customers as powered shells, build-to-suit facilities, or single/multi-tenant data halls — a colocation/wholesale real estate model — rather than selling its own branded cloud compute or storage service.
