Real estate firm Goodman Group continues its investment into the development of data centers in Sydney, Australia. The company has filed a SEARS application with the New South Wales government to develop a 90MW data center campus at 12 Mars Road in Lane Cove West.
The campus development, referred to as Project Mars, will include two two-story facilities offering a total space of 18,830 sqm . They will replace four “dated” warehouses which are currently on the site and which will be demolished. The project represents an investment by Goodman of around AU$1.2 billion.
The site was previously marketed as the Transtech Business Park.
Goodman is an integrated property group with operations throughout Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, the UK, and the Americas. It has shifted its traditional focus on logistics and industrial real estate towards the development of data centers and has been increasing its focus on digital infrastructure in recent years.
In addition to Project Mars, Goodman is planning data centers across Sydney at Guildford West, in the North Shore area, at Mascot and at Macquarie Park. Combined, these developments represent almost 400 MW of capacity.
