Archer Datacenters

Archer Datacenters is a data center development and powered shell platform focused on secondary U.S. markets for hybrid cloud, hyperscale edge, AI-ready, and high-performance compute deployments. The company provides AI-ready data centers, build-to-suit data centers, and powered shell data centers with flexible, scalable, and customizable designs for customers that need high-density infrastructure outside traditional core data center markets.

Archer’s service model supports customer deployments ranging from cages to private data halls and fully customized data center designs. Its AI-ready design supports high-density workloads with renewable power and efficient cooling technologies. Its powered shell offering supports a broad range of customer types and configurations, while build-to-suit deployments provide customized design support for tenant-specific technical and schedule requirements.

Archer’s active development focus includes a Minneapolis, Minnesota campus on an 84-acre parcel with 120 MW total potential power availability, an on-site substation, and a conceptual plan for 500,000 square feet of single-story data hall capacity. The site includes nearby fiber connectivity from Lumen, Arvig, Metronet, Consolidated Communications, and Zayo, plus potential for on-site renewable generation. Archer’s prior Gallatin, Tennessee project is listed as exited.
