MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Metrobloks, LLC (“Metrobloks”) has completed the acquisition of a 4.05-acre land parcel located at 500 NW 137th Avenue, Miami, FL, to develop a state-of-the-art, 15.2MW multi-tenant data center that will accelerate data center infrastructure and innovation within the region and beyond. This facility will support the increasing demand for low latency computing in Florida, a key connectivity hub for the Americas.

“This investment by Metrobloks underscores Miami-Dade’s growing leadership as a global technology and connectivity hub,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “By bringing this state-of-the-art data center to our community, this project strengthens our role as the digital gateway across the Americas while driving economic growth, innovation, and high-quality jobs for our residents.”
The acquisition marks a strategic milestone in Metrobloks’ expansion plans, reinforcing Greater Miami’s role as a critical interconnection point between North America, Latin America, and Europe.

“We are excited to secure this site in Miami-Dade County, an emerging global tech hub, experiencing strong and growing demand for local AI inference,” said Ernest Popescu, CEO of Metrobloks. “The location offers direct access and amazing interconnection to subsea cables, positioning it as an optimal hub for enterprises expanding their data capacity.”

Key Site Advantages:
• Reliable Power Supply: Located across from a Florida Power & Light substation with redundant supply.
• Strategic Location: Close proximity to NAP of the Americas and key subsea cables with a reach of +20.8M people within 20 millisecond latency roundtrip.
• Low Environmental Risk: Positioned outside flood zones, with a safe distance from the coast.
• Favorable Tax Environment: Greater Miami offers competitive tax incentives for infrastructure investments.

The 15.2MW facility will be designed to meet the evolving needs of AI companies, hyperscalers, enterprises, and high-growth startups, featuring flexible rack densities of up to 150kW, with fungible water- and air-cooling solutions.
“This acquisition strengthens Metrobloks’ portfolio as we continue to develop high-performance data centers in key metro markets,” said Ryan Shea, SVP of Real Estate at Metrobloks.

“Metrobloks’ expansion marks a pivotal step in Miami-Dade’s rise as a digitally resilient, globally connected economy,” said Rodrick T. Miller, President and CEO of the Miami-Dade Beacon Council. “This $150 million investment future-proofs our infrastructure for AI, cloud, and hyperscale demand—anchoring Miami as a key node in the global data economy. Just as ports and railroads once shaped commerce, today it’s low latency, data capacity, and resilient architecture that define competitiveness. With Metrobloks, Miami isn’t catching up—we’re setting the pace.”
