 Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals and JSA Radio, the voice of tech and telecom on iHeart Radio. I'm Jamie Skado-Kataya here at West 7th Center, downtown Los Angeles with my friend, Mr. Darren Eads. He's the executive vice president of the Southern California region of JLL. Darren, welcome to JSA TV. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Well, we love being here at West 7th Center. Thanks for having us. And we should say that we are standing in one of the most connected cities in the world, Los Angeles, and more so with the 2028 bid that we won for Olympics coming up in a few years from now. So it's bound to be even more connected quickly. And West 7th is the only, and let me know if I got this right, the only purpose-built data center for Los Angeles? Yes, that's correct. I mean, that's one of the things that sets us apart and makes us unique from some of the other assets in Southern California. A lot of the data centers were either former office buildings or warehouse facilities that were converted to data centers. This one was actually built for First Interstate Bank and is purposely built for their data center and their subterranean floor in this building. Oh, that's amazing. And when we talk about LA, often the concepts of, oh, we're running out of space and power comes up for other facilities, but not necessarily the case here. Right. So far, the asset, I mean, the facility has 22 megawatts of power and well over 100,000 square feet available currently in about 13 megawatts of space. We're leasing space up. We've had a lot of recent transactions that have been very exciting for the building. The building's spending a lot of money and spending a lot of time and to try to do some tremendous upgrades to make this a lot better facility. And for sure, when I took the tour, I was amazed at how many upgrades that were already made, huge pipes for unbelievable capacity. Can you tell us a little bit about what we would see if we came down here and took a tour? Sure. You know, a lot of times we're very proud of the back of the house infrastructure. So we'll get the engineers who have been with the facility for many years and we'll start in the underground portion of that, which is the generator in the back of the house where the chilled water plants are that we spent a considerable amount of time and effort to upgrade those. Then we'd proceed on and look at a lot of the available space we have. Again, we have about 13 megawatts currently and based upon what the need for the client is, we can configure any of those spaces however they need to get up to that capacity. Unbelievable. And even the rooftop, there's an amazing ability to really have these clear sight lines across the city. Absolutely. On a day that there's no smog in LA, it's pretty nice view up there. But yeah, we're investigating that, what we can do to better utilize that space in the roof of the building, as well as the entire footprint of our campus. We have a rather large campus here that we can do a lot with, with different upgrades and upgrading the generators and we've looked at solar power farms and many different options that we can have here. Usually in LA, you're constrained with footprint. That's one thing we don't have problems with. Unbelievable. And I mentioned, I read a lot on your site about disaster recovery services as well. Can you tell us about how you might be a bit more earthquake ready than some others? Sure. Yeah, this building, if I was, hopefully there's no big earthquake in LA, but if I were to be in one, I'd want to be in this building. This building was built, it's essentially like Fort Knox. It's built to withstand well over an 8.0 earthquake. And again, with disaster recovery, depending on where clients need to be located, where the current facilities are, it's just a great option for them. We have close access to one wheelchair as well as low latency. So it's a great opportunity for people. And this is definitely a growth story here, guys. So when you look into your crystal ball, Darren, what do you see for West 7th Center in the next 12 to 24 months ahead? We see a lot of upgrades, a lot of efficiencies. There's many different ways that we can help our clients and customers save money and time. And we're really looking forward to leasing the building up as soon as we can and helping our clients out to grow. Thank you so much, Darren. Clearly a growth story for our viewers who may want to know more. Go ahead and check out west7center.com, as written below with the number 7. And thank you, Darren, for having us in your facility. Thank you. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV. Happy networking.
