Jamestown Properties, Amerimar Enterprises, and Hunter Newby Commence Development of Interconnection Facility at 325 Hudson Street


NEW YORK, NY, Oct 22, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Jamestown Properties, in partnership with Amerimar Enterprises, Inc.

and Hunter Newby, announce they have commenced development of the first phase of their new carrier-neutral core interconnection facility at 325 Hudson Street, a 10-story, 240,000-square-foot telecom building located in New York City's Hudson Square area. The building has direct access to transatlantic cables and major metro and regional fiber providers.



The first phase of the development will include cage and cabinet spaces as well as a large Meet Me Area ("MMA") where customers will have the opportunity to make physical interconnections with one another.

"With New York City's rising demand for connectivity driven by Internet services and application development, Jamestown is proud to draw on the legacy of innovation in this space that began with our investments at 111 8th Avenue and Chelsea Market," states Michael Phillips, COO of Jamestown. "With our partners Amerimar and Hunter Newby, experts in technology-oriented real estate and telecom, we are excited to offer a state-of-the-art new product to our customers at a great value." A former industrial building, 325 Hudson was redeveloped in 1998 into a telecommunications center and acquired by the partnership earlier this year. Located in New York City's prime telecom center with immediate connectivity to transatlantic cables and the fiber-dense Hudson Street corridor, the building offers critical features, such as heavy floor loading capacity, 12-foot ceilings, as well as robust HVAC, power, and back-up power supply.


The project is well timed, as the New York and New Jersey Metro markets are experiencing a need for carrier-neutral connectivity options. With 325 Hudson Street and the building's Meet Me Room under the same ownership and management with a commitment to no monthly recurring cross connect fees, it will provide a reliable, stable and long-term neutral environment for global network operators to thrive in New York City. "The initial response from the carrier community has been overwhelmingly positive and we look forward to continuing to sign up new customers as we forge ahead to a Spring 2013 completion of the first phase of our expanded Meet Me Room," states Jerry Marshall, President and CEO of Amerimar.
