Layton Construction

QTS Data Centers topped out its 193-acre data center campus in Eagle Mountain, Utah, placing the final beam with roughly 2,000 construction workers on site. Layton Construction is the general contractor on the $6 billion project, which includes three buildings ranging from 579,000 to 592,000 square feet under construction since last fall and expected to complete later this year. The campus uses a closed-loop cooling system requiring only a one-time water fill, eliminating ongoing water consumption for cooling. QTS estimates 100 permanent jobs once fully operational. Subs and vendors should target ongoing fit-out and MEP work across all three buildings.

QTS Data Centers, with Layton Construction serving as general contractor, is developing a 193-acre data center campus in Eagle Mountain, Utah, expected to be completed this year. The project involves significant water usage commitments, which is a notable consideration in the arid Utah market. QTS is a well-established data center operator (now owned by Blackstone), and this represents continued expansion in the Utah market. For BD professionals, this is a significant campus-scale development that may present opportunities for infrastructure suppliers, cooling technology vendors, and water management solutions given the project's emphasis on water promises. The project is nearing completion, making outreach time-sensitive for any remaining procurement or operational service needs.
