Stream Data Centers: Santa Clara VI

Santa Clara VI was a shell building located at 3011 Lafayette Street, Santa Clara, California, originally constructed at the tail end of the dot-com and telecom boom (late 1990s/2000), but remained vacant for several years. Stream acquired the unpowered, undeveloped shell, applied marketing and technical expertise to position it for data center use—and later successfully marketed and sold the facility. Strategically placed within Silicon Valley, the site benefited from the region’s low-cost power from Silicon Valley Power and was in close proximity to major long-haul Internet backbone hubs, reinforcing its potential connectivity advantage 

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Building Type: Shell building—not fully developed for operations, intended for conversion into a data center 
• Gross Building Size: Approximately 90,780 sq ft 
• Power Capability: Post-acquisition, Stream introduced four electrical feeds from Silicon Valley Power to support up to 10 MW of critical load 
• Market Positioning: Redeveloped and marketed to colocation users by Stream, leveraging the facility’s strategic location and technical readiness 

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Security & Compliance: No public records or verified sources provide details regarding physical security measures, digital security protocols, or formal compliance certifications for Santa Clara VI. Given the facility’s status as a shell and its limited public-facing operation, such specifics are not documented and thus are omitted to ensure accuracy.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

• Connectivity Position: While direct data on carriers or Internet Exchange access is unavailable, the facility's proximity to regional long-haul hubs within Silicon Valley suggests inherent potential for strong connectivity options 
• . However, without explicit documentation, carrier-neutral status, specific providers, diverse fiber entries, or interconnection capabilities cannot be confirmed and are therefore not included.

💼 Who It Served

• Wholesale or Colocation Buyers: The facility’s marketing and sale as a redeveloped shell likely targeted retail colocation providers or other enterprises capable of completing fit-out and commissioning—aligned with Stream’s typical model of preparing land or shells for hyperscale or enterprise users 
• Users Prioritizing Silicon Valley Location & Scalability: Buyers focusing on Silicon Valley’s low-cost power, regional connectivity infrastructure, and potential for scalable deployment would find the site compelling
