A 7.5-acre property within the Bon Carré Technology Park has changed hands.
Dallas-based DartPoints Operating Company LLC purchased the roughly 89,000-square-foot building—which houses Nexus Louisiana and DartPoints’ two Baton Rouge data centers—from South Carolina-based EdgePWR LLC for $9.4 million, according to a deal filed Thursday with the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court’s office.
Ben Graham and Scott Macdonald of Stirling Properties brokered the deal for the seller, while Johnny Dunn and Chris Vollmer of CBRE represented the buyer.
Graham tells Daily Report that DartPoints plans to continue operating the facility as a data center. He adds that the sale reflects the growing momentum behind data center investments across the region.
EdgePWR originally purchased Bon Carré for $8 million in a deal that closed in late 2020 and was filed with the Clerk of Court’s office in February 2021. Following the acquisition, EdgePWR invested $10 million in renovations, including refacing the building’s façade, improving the parking lot, and addressing deferred maintenance.
The Bon Carré Technology Park offers over 800,000 square feet of office, tech, and retail space, according to Graham.
In 2023, the Research Park Corporation board of directors extended Nexus Louisiana’s lease in the building for three years. Under the lease terms, the rental rate started at $12.50 per square foot in the first year, increasing to $12.75 in the second year and $13 in the third.
Nexus Louisiana CEO Tony Zanders says the sale aligns with the organization’s broader plans.
“This news fits quite nicely into Nexus’ broader strategic and leadership transitions, enabling us to evaluate all options that best suit the space needs of our various stakeholders,” he says.
