GI Property Management (One Wilshire) Data Center

One Wilshire, located at 624 South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, stands as the most vital carrier hotel in the Western United States. This 30 story skyscraper is widely recognized as the premier communications hub of the Pacific Rim, serving as an essential nexus for high speed connectivity between North America and Asia. Owned by GI Partners since 2013 and managed with a commitment to excellence, the facility remains at the heart of the global telecommunications network, facilitating a significant portion of all trans Pacific internet traffic.

The building spans approximately 662,000 square feet, providing a massive footprint for data center operations and premium office space. It is engineered to support the most demanding IT workloads with a primary power capacity of 32 MW, ensuring that the high density hardware of modern tech giants remains operational. This robust infrastructure is housed within a structure that has evolved from a 1960s office tower into a sophisticated, world class technology fortress.

To maintain its industry leading 100 percent uptime SLA, One Wilshire features an extensive standby power system. The facility is equipped with 10 on site diesel powered generators capable of providing immediate backup in the event of a utility failure. These systems are supported by large scale on site fuel storage, ensuring that the critical digital highways passing through the building remain uninterrupted during regional power emergencies.

Central to its status as a global hub is the Meet Me Room, often cited as one of the most densely interconnected spaces in the world. As a carrier neutral facility, it provides access to over 300 network providers and serves as a primary termination point for several undersea fiber optic cables. This ecosystem allows diverse tenants, ranging from global cloud providers like CoreSite to smaller specialized data centers, to interconnect with ultra low latency.

Security at One Wilshire is maintained through a rigorous 24 slash 7 on site professional staff complemented by advanced technological safeguards. The facility utilizes multi factor authentication, including biometric scanners and CCTV surveillance, to protect its eight child data center listings and various tenant installations. This combination of physical security and technical expertise ensures that the building remains a trusted environment for the world’s most sensitive data and communication assets.
