### Goodman Group Breaks Ground on 49.5-MW Data Center in Vernon

Goodman Group has officially commenced construction of Goodman LAX01 Vernon, a 49.5-megawatt data center located in Vernon. The three-level facility, spanning a 5.6-acre site, is expected to provide approximately 32 MW of critical IT capacity once fully operational. The data center is scheduled to be powered shell-ready by mid-2026.

Greg Goodman, CEO of Goodman Group, highlighted the significance of the project, stating, **”LAX01 continues the buildout of our 5 GW global power bank supported by our strong balance sheet. It’s a key part of the 500-MW program of new projects we expect to commence by June 2026 across North America, Continental Europe, Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong.”**

Goodman acquired the Vernon site in 2023 and has since worked closely with the City of Vernon and its Public Utilities Department to maximize the location’s potential. The company has been developing its data center capabilities since 2005 and has grown to become a major global owner of powered sites.
