DataBank has entered a 50/50 joint venture with Goodman Group to develop and operate a new 32MW data center in Vernon, California, significantly expanding its footprint in one of the most supply-constrained U.S. markets. The facility, located at 3094 E Vernon Avenue and slated to open its first 6MW in December 2026, will target high-density, AI and cloud workloads, with the remaining 26MW phased in through September 2027.
For DataBank, this JV accelerates its expansion in Los Angeles—marking its second site in the region—and adds to an existing U.S. development pipeline exceeding 850MW across major metros including Dallas, New York, Atlanta, Kansas City, Houston, and Northern Virginia. Under the partnership, Goodman provides the site, power, entitlements, and development execution, while DataBank will operate the facility and leverage its platform of 70+ data centers in 25+ markets and relationships with more than 2,500 enterprise customers.
Goodman originally acquired the Vernon site in 2023 and integrated it into its 6.0 GW global power bank, with the project contributing to an anticipated USD 12.4 billion pipeline of industrial and low-latency data center developments by June 2026. DataBank CEO Raul Martynek said the collaboration delivers critically needed AI-ready capacity to hyperscale, AI, and enterprise customers in Los Angeles, emphasizing the ability to combine Goodman’s development scale with DataBank’s operational track record and customer base.
The Vernon facility is expected to benefit from strong demand for scalable, high-density colocation in Southern California, where new supply has been constrained by power and site availability. Both companies view Vernon as the first of multiple developments under the JV, with plans to pursue additional sites in capacity-constrained U.S. markets, positioning DataBank to capture incremental revenue growth as AI, cloud, and latency-sensitive applications drive sustained demand for data center infrastructure.
