Data Center Campus
QTS Piscataway 1 is a 38-acre data center campus at 101 Possumtown Road in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey, serving the New Jersey / New York City market.
QTS acquired the site from DuPont Fabros Technology in June 2016 for $125 million; it was previously DuPont Fabros NJ1. DuPont Fabros had built out only the first half of the 360,000 sq ft building (DC1). QTS fitted out the second half and added a generator yard in 2021. QTS then built a separate two-story expansion building (DC2), approved in 2022 and completed in 2024.
The main building is Energy Star certified and LEED Gold. The campus carries a rooftop solar array, an on-site substation, an on-site rain-water collection system, dedicated EV charging and more than 200 parking spaces. Resellers on site have included Choopa, Net2Easy and Green House Data.
