Lumen Houston 1 — Leased IAH10 Presence
Overview
The source record places Lumen Houston 1 as announced retail colocation in Houston at 0 MW, at 12001 N Fwy Service Rd, with a DataCenterMap seed. Current directories place the hall at 12001 North Freeway / 12001 North I-45, ZIP 77060. DataCenterMap’s 77003 ZIP is wrong. PS Lightwave’s Lumen card matches 12001 N. I-45 Fwy, Houston 77060, and repeats 51,300 square feet with 14,816 data-center square feet. DataCenters.com repeats those floor-area figures, lists HIPAA / ISO 27001 / PCI DSS / SOC 1 / SOC 2 / SSAE 18, and markets 3 kW, 5 kW, and 3–15 kW cabinets. Those cabinet ratings are densities, not a site megawatt.
Baxtel is explicit that Lumen does not own the building and leases inside Digital Realty’s 12001–12235 North Freeway campus, short code IAH10. Digital Realty acquired six single-story buildings here in 2006; Level 3 was a major tenant. Host-campus power copy includes dual 35 kV utility feeds, 2,500 kVA delivered at 480 V to each suite, 3,375 kW of UPS, and language about scaling to 6.75 MW of 2N critical load. Those are host layers. The evidence does not establish them as Lumen operating IT load or as current availability.
The identities remain separate. Cogent’s Houston North Freeway hall is 12061 North Freeway (the parent-campus record). FIBERTOWN lists 12031 North Freeway. Lumen Houston 2 is 7060 Empire Central Drive in this batch. The listed Announced / 0 MW status is an empty baseline, not proof of no load.
Questions
Does Lumen own 12001 North Freeway?
No. Baxtel and Digital Realty materials treat this as a leased hall on the IAH10 / Greenspoint campus.
Does the evidence support 6.75 MW here?
No. That figure is host-campus 2N critical-load language, not Lumen operating IT load.
Is this the same as Cogent Houston?
No. Cogent’s nearby hall is 12061 North Freeway. The addresses remain unmerged.
