A message to our Spartanburg neighbors
Building a future worthy of the community that welcomed us.
Spartanburg’s hardworking people, strong values, and promising future are why NorthMark Compute & Cloud (NMC2) chose this community. We intend to be a responsible, collaborative, long-term neighbor.
The project
A high-performance technology center on the former Kohler site.
We are building a high-performance technology center to support our own operations. After evaluating locations nationwide, Spartanburg stood out for its skilled and growing workforce, supportive business environment, and long term potential. We’re here for the long term and proud to invest in the community’s success.
In early 2025, we acquired the former Kohler site on South Pine Street and made commitments to County Council, to OneSpartanburg, and to the state: thorough site rehabilitation, job creation, community support, and meaningful tax revenue. We are honoring those commitments.
Large projects like this are permitted and built in phases — a standard approach in South Carolina. The applications you may see are part of the planned progression, consistent with the original scope presented to local and state leaders.
Operating responsibly
Our commitments to power, water, and environmental stewardship.
Jobs & local economy
A workforce built on Spartanburg's talent, today and tomorrow.
Construction currently brings approximately 1,445 workers to the site each day, with roughly one in three from Spartanburg County. We direct contractors toward local spending and prioritize Spartanburg-area suppliers wherever possible. At full operation, we anticipate approximately 150 permanent on-site roles — skilled, higher-wage positions in maintenance, trades, and technical operations. We are actively supporting local STEM education and workforce development partnerships to help build talent pipelines for these and future opportunities in advanced industries.

Local voices
What our Spartanburg partners are saying.
"When I think about NorthMark Compute & Cloud, I think of a partner that aligns with our core values — loving people, embracing the challenge, and leaving things better than they found them. That alignment has had a real impact on our business, enabling us to grow, hire locally, and expand our company. After 15 years of working with partners across the country, this relationship stands out. As the team responsible for the integration of some of their power generation systems, we can say those systems are built to meet or exceed the environmental and performance standards set."

"Working with NorthMark Compute & Cloud has been a great experience from day one. As a family-owned business, we've appreciated their commitment to working with local companies, and their team on site has been excellent to work with. What stands out most is the level of innovation behind the project — particularly their ability to generate their own power and minimize impact on local infrastructure. That really sets this project apart. If a project like this is coming into a community, this is the way to do it. NorthMark Compute & Cloud is doing things responsibly, and I believe the economic impact for Spartanburg is much greater than many people realize."
