The record, newest first

  1. WSMV listed TierPoint at 311 Eddy Lane among confirmed Nashville-area data centers; TierPoint's own page offers about 52,000 square feet there. (WSMV, June 4, 2026; TierPoint, undated)

  2. TierPoint, which took over the site in its $575 million purchase of Windstream's data center business in late 2015, announced a $20 million addition with Compass, more than doubling the data center space. (TierPoint, Jan. 28, 2017; Nashville Post (via Williamson, Inc.), Jan. 27, 2017; Data Center Dynamics, undated)

  3. CommercialSearch reported the 21,000-square-foot, 1.2 MW building complete and handed to Windstream after about six months. (CommercialSearch, April 10, 2013)

  4. Compass announced a long-term lease with Windstream Hosted Solutions for a 22,000-square-foot building opening in 2013. (Compass Datacenters (PR Newswire), Dec. 3, 2012; Data Center Knowledge, Dec. 3, 2012)

  5. Data Center Knowledge reported Compass had bought 14.6 undeveloped acres in Franklin, with local approval for five 1.2 MW buildings. (Data Center Knowledge, Sept. 10, 2012)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Ownership conflict: DCD (2017) says TierPoint picked up the data center in its Windstream deal; Baxtel and datacenterHawk list Compass as building owner.
  • Size conflict: about 52,000 square feet (TierPoint's page) vs. 53,000 (its 2017 announcement).
  • datacenterHawk lists a second Compass address, 309 Eddy Lane: 96,000 square feet, a planned 4.8 MW, not commissioned. No other record supports it, so it is not treated as a separate project or used for any field.
  • No current Compass proposal in Williamson County was found.
  • Coordinates are from PeeringDB's listing for 311 Eddy Lane.
