American Tower's CoreSite Subsidiary Launches NY3 Data Center

American Tower Corporation’s AMT subsidiary, CoreSite, recently announced the launch of another data center facility, NY3. Located in Secaucus, NJ, and part of the New York metropolitan area adjacent to its existing NY2 site, the new facility will add more than 138,000 square feet of data center space to the company’s portfolio.

Coresite’s NY2 and NY3 facilities also support the deployment of advanced liquid cooling solutions, which are a major prerequisite for thermal efficiency to perform AI-driven workloads smoothly.

The New York expansion is a strategic move, reinforcing CoreSite's presence on the Eastern Seaboard and enhancing its position as one of the best-connected and most scalable data center campuses in the region. It will enable customers in the New York Metro area to use the Open Cloud Exchange and access all major cloud providers and high-count dark fiber interconnections. This will aid users in scaling effectively through all markets in Coresite’s interconnected nationwide portfolio.

With the adoption of hybrid IT strategies, enterprises rely heavily on cloud interconnection. Colocation data centers are becoming increasingly inevitable for working with generative AI applications and workloads. Coresite’s NY3 development will provide purpose-built infrastructure for enterprises to enhance their performance and scale through robust interconnectivity solutions to embrace their digital transformation.

Coresite’s NY3 launch gives a major boost to its growth strategy, now consisting of 30 data centers spanning 4.5 million square feet across 11 key U.S. markets.

Conclusion

The NY3 launch will provide American Tower with the opportunity to capitalize on CoreSite's highly interconnected data center facilities to meet the robust demand from enterprises, cloud, network and IT service providers in major U.S. markets.

With growth in cloud computing, the Internet of Things and Big Data, and an increasing number of companies opting for third-party IT infrastructure, data center companies are experiencing a booming market. To capitalize on the growing opportunity, American Tower is focusing on expanding its data center footprint.

In the second quarter of 2025, the company attained data center revenue growth of 8.4%. In April 2025, American Tower completed the acquisition of a multi-tenant data center facility in Denver, CO, in which it previously leased space (DE1). The acquisition added incremental customer leases and operating spaces within DE1. In the second quarter of 2025, AMT spent approximately $185 million on the above data center facility acquisition.
