Digital Realty Trust Acquires Two Fully Leased Datacenter Facilities in
Silicon Valley
Acquisition expands Company's footprint by 185,000 square feet in top tier
datacenter market

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc.
(NYSE: DLR), the world's largest wholesale datacenter provider, announced
today that it acquired two fully leased datacenter facilities, 1350 Duane
Avenue, and 3080 Raymond Street, located in Santa Clara, California. The
purchase price was $90.5 million. The Company expects the blended cash cap
rate for this acquisition to be consistent with its 2009 guidance, as
discussed on its last earnings call.

In addition, the Company assumed a $52.8 million mortgage upon completion of
the transaction. The loan currently bears interest at 5.423% and is
interest-only through the initial maturity date of October 1, 2012, excluding
extension options.

"This acquisition illustrates the continued execution of our strategy to grow
FFO by investing in income producing facilities at attractive risk-adjusted
returns," commented Scott Peterson, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions for
Digital Realty Trust. "The buildings are strategically located near our
existing Santa Clara facilities and should benefit from our operational
efficiencies. They are situated on a 5.56 acre site across from a Silicon
Valley Power substation with 17.2 MVA of current power capacity expandable to
22.5 MVA."

The larger building, 1350 Duane Avenue, consists of 160,000 square feet of
highly improved datacenter space. The entire building is leased on a triple
net basis to a major telecommunications firm. In 2004 the tenant subleased
the building to a leading colocation and IT services provider. The second
property, 3080 Raymond Avenue, totals 25,000 square feet and is leased on a
triple net basis to a local provider of Internet services and applications to
business throughout California.
