New owner plans data center expansion at Tek Park
Stacy Wescoe//December 17, 2025//
After purchasing the property in October for $175 million, a St. Louis-based data center company has big plans for Tek Park in Upper Macungie Township.
According to the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation, TierPoint plans to add around 100 new jobs to the 137-acre campus, which used to serve as the global headquarters of AT&T Optoelectronic.
The property includes a data center, which TierPoint had previously leased. The purchase included the data center, along with the campus.
According to the LVEDC, it’s the largest by total power capacity of its portfolio of centers in more than 20 markets.
TierPoint said it has started a 100-megawatt expansion of that data center, which it expects to complete in the second half of next year.
“TierPoint continues to build on its exceptional growth trajectory, with strong demand for our digital infrastructure solutions, including market-leading enterprise, wholesale, and high-density colocation services that support artificial intelligence and other compute-intensive workloads,” TierPoint Chair and CEO Jerry Kent said in a statement.
As its business at Tek Park grows, TierPoint told the LVEDC that the expansion project, including work on the utility substation, could support an estimated 350 or more construction and engineering jobs.
