We are excited to execute upon our shared vision of creating a scalable North American data center platform and we look forward to expanding with GIC and OPTrust as we work to grow EdgeCore Internet Real Estate beyond our initial roll out,” says Tom Ray, Chairman and CEO of EdgeCore Internet Real Estate and Mount Elbert.
