Adaptive Reuse for Data Centers, Edge Nodes infrastructure
Adaptive Reuse Opportunity for Data Centers, Edge Nodes & Telecom Infrastructure
Rare opportunity to lease large-scale powered anchor spaces (20,000–400,000 SF) within an existing regional mall structure, ideal for data centers, edge computing, and telecom infrastructure deployment.
This property offers adaptive reuse potential with existing infrastructure designed for high electrical loads, making it a strategic alternative to ground-up data center development.
Ideal for operators seeking faster deployment, lower upfront costs, and proximity to end users.
What makes this location ideal for edge computing?
Located within miles of 550,000+ end users
Proximity to hospitals, universities, manufacturing hubs, and dense residential zones
Reduces latency for last-mile data delivery
Why choose adaptive reuse vs. greenfield development?
Existing power infrastructure already in place
Eliminates lengthy permitting and land acquisition timelines
Faster time to market for hyperscale and colocation operators
AVAILABLE ANCHOR SPACES:
Space A: ±96,027 SF — Former Macy's (north wing)
Space B: ±56,364 SF — Former Macy's (west wing)
Space C: ±97,429 SF — Large-format box (inline)
Space D: ±155,392 SF — Largest available box (south)
Space E: ±20,048 SF — Smaller box, ideal for edge node or Meet-Me Room
Spaces can be leased individually or combined.
Total available: 400,000+ SF under single ownership
Power Capacity & Electrical Readiness
Built to support high-load retail operations (HVAC, escalators, large-scale systems)
Existing electrical framework provides a strong foundation for data center conversion
Nearby substation (~0.1 mile) supports scalable power access
Fiber & Connectivity
Located within a well-connected Northeast fiber corridor
Proximity to major backbone network routes
Ideal for carrier-neutral and interconnection hubs
Loading & Access
Dock-high and ground-level loading
Oversized access points for equipment deployment
Built for logistics — adaptable for rack, server, and infrastructure delivery
Ideal Operators & Use Cases
Hyperscale edge nodes (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle)
Regional colocation & carrier-neutral data centers
Edge computing & low-latency deployment providers
Telecom infrastructure & neutral host networks
Disaster recovery & backup data centers
Dark fiber & interconnect operators
Perfect for operators seeking scalable, distributed infrastructure locations in secondary markets.
Lease Terms & Flexibility
Lease Rate: $12/SF/year
NNN lease structure available
Flexible terms for single or multi-building deployment
Single ownership = streamlined negotiations + faster execution

- Established
- Facilities & Assets
- POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
Large retail anchor boxes were built for massive electrical loads — HVAC, escalators, lighting across 6-figure square footage. The existing power infrastructure is a head start. Existing substation is 0.1 mile away.
FIBER & CONNECTIVITY
Wilkes-Barre Township sits within a well-connected regional corridor with existing fiber presence and proximity to major backbone routes serving the Northeast.
LAST-MILE POSITIONING
Edge computing wins on latency. Within miles of 550,000+ end users — hospitals, universities, manufacturers, and dense residential — without the land acquisition complexity of a greenfield build.
LOADING & ACCESS
Dedicated dock access, oversized ingress points, and ground-level loading — built for high-volume retail, ready for high-density equipment deployment.
SINGLE OWNERSHIP, MULTIPLE BOXES
All available anchor spaces are under single ownership and management. One conversation. One lease negotiation. Multiple deployment options. - Location Description
- Strategic Location – Northeast Data Corridor
