Critical Infrastructure

Uptime Starts With the Building

Data centers are equal parts electrical, mechanical, and structural. TCG delivers data center and critical infrastructure projects in Jacksonville as design-build, coordinating MEP engineering, structural engineering, and a hardened envelope so power, cooling, and the shell are designed as one system rather than three separate bids.

The schedule risk on most data centers is equipment, not labor. Switchgear, transformers, and generators carry long lead times, so our equipment procurement team locks orders early and sequences the build around delivery. Read switchgear, transformer, and generator lead times and the Tier III vs Tier IV overview for context.

Jacksonville's inland-leaning geography, JEA power capacity, and fiber routes make it a credible edge and colocation market. We also build data centers in Tampa and Orlando.

Scope

What Goes Into a Jacksonville Data Center

Electrical

Utility coordination, switchgear, UPS, generators, and distribution to the rack at N+1 or 2N through MEP engineering.

Cooling

CRAC/CRAH, chilled water, and hot/cold-aisle containment tuned for Florida heat and target PUE.

Redundancy

Concurrently maintainable and fault-tolerant topologies per the tier target.

Hardened Shell

Tilt-up or IMP envelope and structure designed to FBC wind, with security and fire suppression.

Long-Lead Procurement

Early ordering and tracking of switchgear, transformers, and generators via equipment procurement.

Commissioning

Levels 1 through 5 commissioning, load bank testing, and integrated systems testing.

Cost Guide

Jacksonville Data Center Costs

Data center cost scales with critical load and redundancy more than raw square footage. Planning ranges:

Shell / Core

$280-$450 /SF

Hardened envelope, base building

Enterprise / Edge

$450-$750 /SF

Full fit-out, moderate redundancy

Colocation / Hyperscale

$750-$1,100 /SF

High density, 2N, containment

Per Critical MW

$7M-$14M /MW

All-in electrical and mechanical

Local Market

Data Centers in Northeast Florida

Power and utility: JEA serves the Jacksonville area and power availability is a primary site-selection factor. Early utility coordination on service capacity and timeline is essential, since substation and transformer work can govern the schedule.

Climate and cooling: Florida heat and humidity raise the cooling burden. Efficient chilled-water plants, containment, and economization strategies protect PUE despite the climate.

Wind and hardening: Mission-critical facilities in coastal Duval County must meet FBC wind design at 130 plus mph, with hardened envelopes and protected generator and fuel yards.

Long-lead equipment: Switchgear, transformers, and generators are the real schedule drivers. Our procurement team orders early; see current lead times and the cost to build a data center.

FAQ

Jacksonville Data Center FAQ

How much does it cost to build a data center in Jacksonville?
Jacksonville data centers typically run about 280 to 450 dollars per SF for shell and core, 450 to 750 for enterprise or edge fit-out, and 750 to 1,100 for high-density colocation. On a critical load basis, expect roughly 7 to 14 million dollars per megawatt all-in. Redundancy target and cooling approach move the number most.
What redundancy levels does TCG build?
TCG builds to N+1, concurrently maintainable, and 2N fault-tolerant topologies depending on your uptime requirement, generally aligned with Tier III and Tier IV objectives. We design electrical and mechanical redundancy together so the systems support the target without overbuilding.
How does TCG handle long-lead equipment like switchgear and generators?
Equipment, not labor, is the usual schedule risk on data centers. Our procurement team places switchgear, transformer, and generator orders early and sequences construction around delivery dates so the building is ready when the gear arrives.
Is Jacksonville a good market for data centers?
Jacksonville offers JEA power capacity, fiber connectivity, competitive land, no state income tax, and an inland-leaning geography relative to the immediate coast. Power availability and timeline are the key site-selection factors, so early utility coordination is essential.
How does Florida's climate affect data center cooling?
Florida heat and humidity increase the cooling load and influence which economization strategies are viable. Efficient chilled-water plants and hot-aisle or cold-aisle containment help maintain a strong PUE despite the climate.
Does TCG design as well as build data centers?
Yes. TCG delivers data centers as design-build with in-house MEP and structural engineering, so power, cooling, and the hardened shell are coordinated as one integrated system from concept through commissioning.
