DataBank SLC1 Data Center Salt Lake City: 179 E Social Hall Ave Colocation Specs

Status: Operational   |   Location: 179 East Social Hall Avenue, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, Utah, United States

Project Overview

DataBank SLC1 is a premier downtown Salt Lake City carrier hotel and network interconnection facility located at 179 East Social Hall Avenue, serving as a critical connectivity hub for enterprises, telecommunications providers, cloud platforms, and digital service operators across the Salt Lake City metropolitan area and broader Intermountain West. Spanning approximately 10,610 square feet, the facility is designed primarily around network interconnection and edge connectivity rather than large-scale compute deployments, allowing organizations to establish efficient connections between local infrastructure and major regional and national networks. SLC1 hosts more than 38 on-site carriers, creating a diverse connectivity ecosystem that enables customers to access multiple telecommunications providers from a single location. This carrier density supports low-latency cross-connects, diverse network routing, and flexible connectivity configurations for businesses with demanding bandwidth and performance requirements. The facility also provides blended bandwidth solutions, allowing customers to combine connectivity from multiple network providers to improve network resilience, performance, and operational flexibility. Direct fiber connections further strengthen the facility’s role as an aggregation point within Salt Lake City’s digital infrastructure ecosystem, enabling efficient communication between enterprises, cloud environments, internet networks, and larger data center campuses. SLC1 is particularly valuable as a network extension for workloads that require substantial computing resources but benefit from a dedicated connectivity hub in the downtown market. Its infrastructure complements larger compute-oriented deployments at DataBank’s Granite Point campus in Bluffdale, creating a distributed architecture in which downtown network interconnection can work alongside larger-scale data center capacity located farther from the city center. This model allows customers to connect efficiently to regional computing environments while maintaining access to a broad carrier ecosystem. By combining carrier diversity, fiber-rich connectivity, low-latency cross-connects, and blended bandwidth services, DataBank SLC1 serves as an important edge networking and aggregation point for the Salt Lake City region. The facility strengthens DataBank’s broader Utah infrastructure footprint while providing enterprises and service providers with a flexible platform for cloud connectivity, network optimization, hybrid IT, and distributed digital operations.
