A data center in Chicago, Illinois, is up for sale.
Cawley Commercial Real Estate is offering 3111 S. Western Avenue for sale or lease. Prices were not included.
Set on 2.9 acres, the 12,100 sq ft (1,125 sqm), single-story site totals 1.44MW of capacity. It includes HVAC and fire suppression systems. The property is made of up three connected single-story buildings and has four large satellite antennae on-site.
Built in 1980, the property is listed as a “prime investment opportunity” and an “industrial/warehouse/distribution building featuring versatile spaces designed to accommodate diverse industrial operations.”
The site was previously operated by satellite data services firm Spacenet (owned by SageNet). The company had been at the site since at least 1992, according to local documents. It’s not clear when the company exited the site.
Spacenet was founded in 1981 as Southern Pacific Communications Corporation (SPCC), a sister company to Sprint, providing satellite links for voice connections. The company was acquired by GTE in 1983, later absorbing AT&T Tridom and Contel ASC, before being sold to General Electric American Communications and then Gilat.
Gilat sold Spacenet to SageNet in 2013 for $16 million. At the time, the company said it supported some 20 networks and 100,000 VSAT terminals. SageNet was founded in 1998, and provides managed communications services.
