Lumen Manchester 1 Data Center California

Status: Operational   |   Location: 19700 State Hwy 1 (Shoreline Hwy), Manchester, CA 95459, United States

Project Overview

Lumen Manchester 1 is a coastal edge colocation data center located at 19700 State Highway 1 in Manchester, Mendocino County, California. The facility spans approximately 10,000 square feet and includes around 1,768 square feet of raised floor colocation space, providing infrastructure for enterprises and network users requiring localized computing, connectivity, and data processing capabilities along Northern California’s Pacific coast. Its location gives the facility strategic relevance as an edge computing and network interconnection point, particularly for applications where proximity to end users and network infrastructure can reduce latency. Lumen Manchester 1 supports cabinet power densities ranging from 3 kW to 15 kW, allowing the facility to accommodate a range of enterprise, telecommunications, and edge computing deployments. The site is integrated with Lumen’s national fiber backbone, providing connectivity to a broader network infrastructure spanning major markets across the United States. Its network position also provides access to major subsea cable landing routes along the Pacific coast, supporting backhaul connectivity between coastal infrastructure and wider domestic and international networks. Direct cloud connectivity further enables customers to establish connections with cloud services without relying solely on conventional internet routing, supporting applications that require predictable network performance and efficient data transfer. The facility’s coastal location is particularly relevant for network intensive applications, distributed enterprise infrastructure, content delivery, telecommunications, and edge workloads that benefit from localized connectivity. Rather than functioning primarily as a large hyperscale campus, Manchester 1 serves a more specialized role within the digital infrastructure ecosystem by combining modest colocation capacity with strategic network access. Its integration with Lumen’s fiber backbone and subsea connectivity infrastructure strengthens its role as an interconnection point serving Northern California and the Pacific coast. By combining edge colocation space, flexible cabinet power densities, national fiber connectivity, subsea network access, and cloud connections, Lumen Manchester 1 provides localized infrastructure for enterprises and network operators seeking low-latency digital services in a geographically distributed environment.
