A Leesburg-based real estate company is seeking to bring another major data-center cluster to Loudoun County at a 95-acre site near Panda Stonewall Generating Plant along Sycolin Road in Leesburg.
The $2 billion project is slated for an area already zoned industrial and would extend the surge of more than 70 data centers northwest to Leesburg. To date, most of the data centers are clustered in Ashburn’s Data Center Alley – the largest concentration of data warehouses in the country – about 10 miles west of the new project, known as Loudoun West.
Loudoun West plans for anywhere from four to seven data centers on property several miles south of Leesburg Executive Airport, just off Sycolin Road near the Dulles Greenway. The property is currently zoned to house stacks upon stacks of computer servers – connections to the Internet’s Cloud – in 1.88 million square feet of floor space. The property owners have applied with the county to increase the data center space by another 500,000 square feet, bringing in the total square footage to roughly 2.3 million.
