QUINCY — Sabey Corporation announced their intentions to construct a 525,000 square-foot data center in Quincy called “Intergate.Quincy.”

Groundbreaking is planned for this summer.

Intergate.Quincy will be owned by Sabey and is intended to accommodate enterprise-level customers such as Microsoft, T-Mobile or smaller companies, explained John Ford, Sabey’s director of technology real estate.

Sabey is currently talking to a couple of potential tenants for the Quincy site and will not start building until they have tenants, Ford said.

“There are always some tenant modifications we end up doing to the buildings,” he explained.

Sabey is doing design work for the space, with two buildings’ designs completed, and a third building in the design process, he confirmed.

The Quincy site is Sabey’s second location in North Central Washington, as the company also has a data center in East Wenatchee.

The Quincy location will be considered the East Wenatchee site’s sister campus. The Quincy site will be designed and built by the companies involved with the East Wenatchee location.

Some of the participating design and building companies are: Sabey Construction, Inc., Callison Architecture, The McKinstry Company, Veca Electrical, Engineers Northwest and ESW Consultants.

Sabey claimed it decided to build a location in Quincy because the East Wenatchee location was so successful. 

T-Mobile and VMware became tenants at the East Wenatchee site within a year after site work began.

“It’s clear that the concept of leasing makes sense to major data center operators,” Ford stated. ”Our tenants design their interior modifications, while we provide them the economies of scale for shell and core.

“We also offer the infrastructure and mechanical system options to make their operations and budgets much more efficient.”
