Hawthorne Central Office 1MW Hillsboro Oregon Ziply Fiber Edge Colocation Facility

Status: Operational / Strategic Edge Colocation Node   |   Location: 4305 NE Starr Blvd, Hillsboro, OR 97124, USA

Project Overview

The Ziply Fiber Hawthorne Data Center, also identified as the Hawthorne Central Office / Site Code HLBOORXH, is a hardened central office, edge colocation, and carrier interconnection facility operated by Ziply Fiber at 4305 NE Starr Blvd in Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. Located within Hillsboro’s established “Silicon Forest” technology and data center corridor, the facility occupies a strategically important position near major hyperscale and colocation campuses operated by providers including STACK Infrastructure, NTT DATA, and Flexential. The site is designed to provide reliable edge colocation services for smaller deployments, including customer installations ranging from individual cabinets to multi-cabinet configurations. By integrating customer equipment directly into Ziply Fiber’s regional fiber network, the facility can provide businesses and network operators with efficient access to high-capacity connectivity without requiring extensive third-party infrastructure or unnecessary intermediary network handoffs. Its location within a dense data center ecosystem allows customers to benefit from proximity to hyperscale facilities, enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure, and telecommunications providers throughout the Hillsboro market. The facility supports applications that require secure, resilient, and geographically distributed infrastructure, including telecommunications points of presence, internet service providers, carrier networks, content delivery infrastructure, and regional enterprise edge computing. Its hardened central-office architecture is designed to support continuous network operations, while climate-controlled environments and redundant power infrastructure help protect critical customer equipment. Electricity is supplied through Portland General Electric, supporting the facility’s operations within Oregon’s broader energy and telecommunications ecosystem. The site also benefits from Hillsboro’s extensive regional fiber connectivity and proximity to major network routes serving Portland and other Pacific Northwest markets. As enterprises increasingly deploy distributed applications, cloud services, edge computing, and network-intensive workloads, facilities such as the Hawthorne Data Center provide an important bridge between local customers and larger hyperscale infrastructure. Its combination of carrier connectivity, secure colocation, resilient infrastructure, and strategic location makes it a valuable component of Ziply Fiber’s regional network and Hillsboro’s broader digital infrastructure ecosystem.
