California-based Vantage Data Centers announced today it has purchased 42 acres in Loudoun County's "Data Center Alley." The land grab and development plans represent Vantage's largest expansion to date, according to company officials, with a billion-dollar planned investment in a new, 108-megawatt wholesale data center campus.
Once complete, the campus will feature five buildings totaling 1 million square feet.
"Vantage's expansion to Northern Virginia is in direct response to demand from our cloud and large technology enterprise customers, who have expansion plans on the east coast," said Vantage President and CEO Sureel Choksi in a prepared statement. "We are very excited to expand beyond the west coast to a third market, with our largest data center campus to date. Northern Virginia is a vital and strategic market for our customers and company."
