CoreSite Expands in Denver with Strategic Acquisition of Iconic Carrier Hotel

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, we explore CoreSite’s strategic acquisition of the Denver Gas and Electric Building, widely regarded as the most network-dense facility in the Rocky Mountain region.

Now the sole owner and operator of the DE1 data center housed within the historic building, CoreSite is doubling down on its interconnection strategy and reshaping the future of Denver’s cloud and network ecosystem.

Podcast guests Yvonne Ng, CoreSite’s Central Region General Manager, and Adam Post, SVP of Finance and Corporate Development, discuss how the acquisition enables CoreSite to simplify access to the Google Cloud Platform onramp and supercharge the Any2Denver peering exchange.

The deal also adds over 100 interconnection-rich customers to CoreSite’s portfolio and sets the stage for a broader Denver campus strategy including the under-construction DE3 facility built for AI-scale workloads.

The conversation explores key themes around modernizing legacy carrier hotels for high-density computing, integrating newly acquired customers, and how CoreSite, as backed by parent company American Tower, is evaluating similar interconnection-focused acquisitions in other metro markets.

This is a timely deep dive into how legacy infrastructure is being reimagined to meet AI, multicloud, and edge computing demands. Denver is now positioned as a cloud peering hotspot, and CoreSite is at the center of the story.
