2100 Renaissance Blvd - Data Center
Renaissance Blvd, Upper Merion, PA · 187,946 sq ft non-residential, data center · 9.11 acres
About this project
A new 188,000-square-foot data center with two 2-story buildings and offices will replace an existing office building on 9.11 acres in Upper Merion's Renaissance Park office area. The existing 3-story office building and portions of parking will be demolished, though parking spaces overall will decrease. Public water and sewer utilities will serve the site.
County planning commission: Raises serious concerns
Issues raised: special exception required for data center use in SM-1 district, missing will-serve letters for public water and wastewater, landscape plan not submitted, proximity to residential district within 75 feet, lack of information about data center operations and cumulative impacts with other pending proposals
