The record, newest first

  1. H5's Tampa page (copyright 2026; opened Nov. 7, 2026) places the 27,300-square-foot facility on the 10th floor of the Franklin Exchange building at 655 North Franklin Street, Suite 1000. (H5 Data Centers, Nov. 7, 2026)

  2. PeeringDB's entry for the facility, last updated April 22, 2026, lists H5 Data Centers at 655 North Franklin Street, Suite 1000. (PeeringDB, April 22, 2026)

  3. H5 Data Centers announced it had bought three 365 Data Centers locations, including Tampa, with Novacap as a joint-venture partner. (H5 Data Centers, Feb. 2, 2026)

  4. DCD reported that the new HyscaleIX venture bought three carrier hotels from 365 and that the Tampa site was likely 655 North Franklin Street, home of the Tampa Internet Exchange. (DatacenterDynamics, Feb. 2, 2026)

  5. 365 Data Centers said it would add a floor of data center space and more power at its 655 North Franklin Street site, nearly doubling its Tampa footprint. (365 Data Centers (Business Wire), June 13, 2023)

Conflicts and open questions

  • The link between the HyscaleIX purchase and 655 North Franklin rests on 365's own 2023 release (its Tampa site is at that address) and H5's current Tampa page at the same address. H5's release does not give the Tampa street address, and DCD called it 'likely'.
  • Floor area differs by source: DCD reports 30,400 square feet and H5's page says 27,300 square feet. The record uses H5's current figure.
  • PeeringDB notes this is the former Switch & Data/Equinix facility.
  • The DCD article date is taken from H5's announcement date; the DCD page showed no dateline.
  • Coordinates are approximate, from the street address.
