Modern Data Center and Class A Offices
Pembroke opportunistically acquired the building in 2000 and redeveloped it on behalf of KVH Telecom. We completely overhauled the property into a state-of-the-art, high-tech data center with redundant power supply, HVAC, security, optical fiber connectivity and fire suppression systems. Our team built a great deal of flexibility into the development plan to suit the needs of the rapidly changing technology sector, allowing for floor-by-floor expansion of the data center into short-term speculative office floors as market needs demand.

The key challenge for Pembroke was to convert a 20 year old office building into a state-of-the-art, dual functioning data center and Class A office building whose infrastructure, access and security systems are 100% segregated. Our ability to effectively market each function to third-party users depended on our success in achieving maximum security, functionality and system redundancy for both uses without adverse impact on either one.

Pembroke leveraged its significant experience in data center development in Latin America and the technical expertise of Fidelity Investments to design this world-class facility. All building systems have integrated fail-safe mechanisms, which provide backup and security measures in the event of a simple power outage or a major seismic event. The server rooms provide power and HVAC systems at over 10 times the output of a typical office to support thousands of server racks of financial and IT services customers.

The building is, in reality, two separate buildings in a single building envelope. Infrastructure, access and security systems of the data center and office components are 100% segregated, providing maximum security and system redundancy to KVH customers.
