Data center could replace Hyatt Place hotel at 750 N. Nash Street in El Segundo
A five-story data center is proposed to replace a Hyatt Place hotel at 750 N. Nash Street in El Segundo, California. The project, designed by Arup and Eight Form, will require an amendment to a previously adopted environmental impact report. This development is considered a rarity given the growing pushback against data centers in Los Angeles County.
A new data center project is being proposed for El Segundo, California, a rare development amidst increasing local opposition to data centers across Los Angeles County. The project, designed by engineering firm Arup and development firm Eight Form, plans to construct a five-story, 160-foot-tall building encompassing 230,000 square feet, which would replace an existing Hyatt Place hotel at 750 N. Nash Street. The site's owner is listed as Welcome Group, which acquired the property in 2022 for $49 million.
The proposed development includes a new electrical substation and will necessitate an amendment to a previously approved environmental impact report associated with the broader El Segundo Corporate Campus. This requirement highlights the regulatory hurdles and environmental considerations for such projects in the region. The article notes the recent decision by Monterey Park residents to ban data centers citywide, providing context for the El Segundo project's unique position in the current development landscape of Southern California.
