Aligned's Latest Facility in West Jordan
Earlier in March, Blackstone has provided an initial USD 600 million senior secured credit facility to support the development of Aligned's newest and largest data center in West Jordan, Utah.
Aligned's SLC-03 data center is a two-story, 80 MW build-to suit project on its hyperscale campus in West Jordan, Utah, which now houses three facilities. Reportedly, this is the company's fourth hyperscale data center in the Salt Lake City metro area.
