MINNEAPOLIS, February 24, 2022 – Cushman & Wakefield has represented Legacy Investing, a Northern Virginia based commercial real estate investment firm focused on technology-based, mission-critical properties, in the signing of a new data center lease with BomberJacket Networks in Legacy’s newly expanded T5@Minneapolis data center at 1001 Third Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis.
Cushman & Wakefield’s Justin Baratz, Sean Brady and Randy Borron, part of Cushman & Wakefield’s Global Data Center Advisory 
Group, have played an integral role in representing Legacy Investing in lease transactions and interconnection solutions since Legacy acquired the property in 2019.
Said Mike Bramm, President and CEO of BomberJacket Networks, “As one of the Twin Cities’ premier Managed Services Providers, we were looking for a best-in-class data center in Minneapolis to host customers’ critical applications, and the T5@Minneapolis data center was well located downtown with rich, connected fiber. It represented excellent value with superior redundancy and security, which is paramount for the services we provide.”
Added Baratz, “Minneapolis continues to be an intriguing secondary market, and our facility in downtown Minneapolis is a perfect location for tenants looking to deploy their IT infrastructure in a highly connected facility. The building has excellent fiber access in a low-risk area, and Legacy has proven to be extraordinarily flexible and creative, partnering with clients to meet their requirements and solve their objectives, whether you’re one rack or a hundred. We’re thrilled to have BomberJacket Networks added to the rapidly growing roster of tenants in the building.”
The building is managed and operated by T5 Data Centers, a premier, national data center operating company. Newly expanded, the data center offers 3.9MW of immediately available, turn-key capacity with the ability to offer private suites and includes amenities such as technical office space, conference area and tenant lounge.
Legacy strategically developed its partnership with T5 based on its track record of data center operations, compliance and colocation services. T5 currently houses and manages data centers for a variety of robust and marquee hyperscale and Fortune 500 clients.
