Sacramento Prime SMF02 18MW Hyperscale Data Center
Status: Under Construction | Location: 2407 Ak St, McClellan Park, CA 95652, United States
Project Overview
The Prime Data Centers SMF02 facility represents a crucial modern expansion of the developer’s master-planned hyperscale campus in McClellan Park, Sacramento. Positioned intentionally as a high-performance alternative to the capacity-constrained Silicon Valley market, this state-of-the-art facility delivers 18 megawatts (MW) of critical IT load across 150,000 square feet of highly optimized technical space. Explicitly engineered to handle the demands of next-generation corporate applications, SMF02 is fully optimized to support high-density configurations, artificial intelligence inference, and enterprise cloud migrations requiring exceptional network connectivity. Power infrastructure at SMF02 is highly reliable and cost-effective, drawing electricity directly from the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) at rates substantially lower than those found in neighboring Bay Area submarkets. To meet intensive cooling demands sustainably, the facility implements an eco-efficient chilled-water loop framework utilizing an N+1 mechanical configuration. Operating on a 100% renewable energy mix via SMUD’s green power programs, SMF02 achieves an optimized Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) target. Its carrier-neutral architecture, combined with extensive fiber entries, guarantees seamless, low-latency data traffic directly to major West Coast network exchanges.
