Overview
Compass Datacenters is a Dallas-based hyperscale campus developer founded in 2011 by Chris Crosby, a former Digital Realty executive. It designs, builds, and operates Class A data center campuses on a modular, prefabricated construction model, marketing a "Community-First" and 100-year-neighbor posture aimed at winning entitlements in jurisdictions where hyperscale build-outs face growing local resistance. Since June 2023 Compass has been jointly owned by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners, in a transaction reported at roughly $5.5 billion; KKR is also identified by the company among its capital backers. Under that ownership the operator has moved from a single-tenant wholesale model into gigawatt-class campus development, with active projects in Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Northern Virginia, Phoenix (Goodyear and El Mirage), Meridian (Mississippi), Toronto, and Milan. Compass is a supplier to the hyperscale cloud tier: Amazon Web Services is a publicly identified anchor customer, and the company partners with Schneider Electric, Vertiv, and Cummins on the modular power-and-cooling stack. Recent expansion has been paired with a workforce-training push (Texas State Technical College, Meridian Community College) as jurisdictions increasingly tie approvals to local jobs commitments.
