With more than 15 fiber networks and 40 different service providers in the immediate area, 400 Paul will offer an extremely dense mix
of carriers that deliver the full spectrum of network services. Tenants will have multiple options for metro, long haul, international, and
specialized services, as well as a full complement of products including dark fiber, private line, IP, cable TV, voice, and wireless. 400 Paul
will also be well connected to the other major Data Centers, key exchanges and traffic hubs in the Bay Area and beyond.
CARRIER NEUTRAL INTERCONNECTION ROOM
400 Paul will provide at least two physically remote Points of Entrance (POE) and construct a Meet Me Room (MMR) to accommodate all
telecom carriers, fiber providers and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) on a Carrier Neutral basis.
This MMR will act as an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) enabling individual entities to exchange internet traffic between and among their
networks by means of mutual peering agreements, all at reasonable costs. 400 Paul will dedicate the IXP physical space with the requisite
staffing, redundant power and cooling and diverse fiber routes for the purpose of establishing a robust and reliable Open IX (OIX) Operation
within the facility.
400 Paul’s independent OIX Operation will provide Tenants with professional, high quality, non-blocking peering service for all types of IP
traffic, from regular IP data (e.g., e-mail and web content) to video/TV content, hosting and cloud bandwidth. Peering at 400 Paul’s OIX can
improve network performance (shorter paths) and improve reliability (multiple paths to destinations) at the lowest possible cost.
SYNOPSIS
400 Paul Ave. is the first new Data Center project constructed in San Francisco in 14 years. Designed with state-of-the art electrical and mechanical systems,
400 Paul will include a new purpose-built Data Center building, constructed from the ground up, plus two renovated classic 1930’s era buildings to provide
needed support space adjacent to the Data Halls.
Scalable, flexible and robust describe this “Tenant Driven” Project designed to accommodate full-floor tenants (up to 88,000 SF per floor) as well as individual
Data Halls (from 9,500 SF) in a multi-tenant environment. The 187,000 SF two-story Data Center structure provides heavy floor load capacity, generous
20’ structural height, efficient support areas and shafts to the roof for efficient outside-air cooling. The 135,000 SF of usable Data Hall space is open and
continuous on each floor without fixed shafts or demising walls interrupting efficient cabinet layouts.
The architecturally significant Spanish Colonial Revival building and the Modernist Industrial style building will be renovated to house modern and efficient
office space (up to 36,000 SF), a secure entrance lobby, a new “core”, and secure storage space (up to 13,000 SF) for tenants within steps of their Data
Centers.
SITE PLAN
DEVELOPMENT TEAM
400 Paul is a development of The Cambay Group, one of the pioneering developers in the telecommunications and Data Center real estate industry. In
1999, the Cambay Group developed then leased one of the first and biggest Internet Gateway properties in the western U.S. In 2001 Cambay developed
and leased the largest multi-tenant Data Center at that time in Santa Clara. Also known as “carrier hotels”, these properties remain relevant and essential
nodes in today’s telecommunications infrastructure.
The Cambay Group has developed over 1.3M SF of Internet Gateway and Powered Data Center Shell buildings for the IT and Telecommunications industry.
In addition this proven sponsor has over 250,000 SF of Custom-Designed and Built-to-Suit Turnkey Data Center experience.
The 400 Paul Development Team includes the “best-in-class” design, engineering and construction firms in our industry.
