365 Data Centers and Aphorio Carter Launch ~200 MW AI-Ready Data Center Pipeline

Partnership targets high-density liquid to chip infrastructure across initial U.S. sites in Colorado, Kentucky, and additional growth markets over the next 9 to 24 months

NORWALK, Conn., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 365 Data Centers (“365”), a leading provider of high-density colocation, connectivity, and AI-enabled cloud services, has formed a strategic partnership with Aphorio Carter, the critical infrastructure and data center division of Carter Funds to develop about 200 megawatts of AI-ready data center capacity across key U.S. markets. Through this partnership, 365 and Aphorio Carter plan to identify, convert, and develop a portfolio of high-density data center facilities, with the first projects under letter of intent in Colorado and Kentucky.

365 is initially evaluating six sites where it would serve as the long-term operator, with projects expected to come online over the next 9 to 24 months. The facilities are being designed to support high-density liquid to chip infrastructure to meet growing AI and high-performance computing workloads. The company has initiated letters of intent (LOIs) for two priority locations: Aurora, Colorado, and Simpsonville, Kentucky. The company will subsequently pursue additional LOIs for sites in Trumbull, Connecticut; Louisville, Kentucky; Harrisonburg, Virginia; and Columbus, Ohio as part of an initial phased expansion strategy.

“Through this partnership, we’re in an ideal position to create a new class of high-density infrastructure designed specifically for AI-era workloads,” said Derek Gillespie, CEO & CRO of 365 Data Centers. “Working with Aphorio Carter will allow us to create new value in existing assets while bringing new capacity online to support today’s demand.”

Each facility is expected to support cabinet densities ranging from 50 to over 200 kW, positioning the portfolio to meet the requirements of next-generation compute applications.

Aphorio Carter’s experience in real estate investment and redevelopment, combined with 365’s operational capabilities, creates a powerful platform for accelerating time-to-market and maximizing asset performance.

“We’ve aligned the delivery of utility power with critical infrastructure allowing us to provide scalable, high-density infrastructure where it’s needed most. This is a great partnership where we’ve got the real estate and the ability to supply the data center infrastructure inline with available utility capacity while 365 has a highly reliable O&M track record along with a healthy pipeline of customers,” stated John Regan, President & COO at Aphorio Carter. “Together, we’re creating a scalable supply of power-rich environments that can be delivered faster and perform at a higher level than traditional developments.”

Further details on site locations and development timelines will become available as projects progress. Availability of space and power is subject to final contract and internal approvals. Specifications are subject to change during the development phase. This announcement reinforces 365 Data Centers’ broader strategy to deliver AI-ready, high-performance infrastructure to enterprise clients in the modern digital era.
