EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure, a wholesale data centre developer, owner and operator, has announced the expansion of its presence in Northern Virginia through the establishment of a partnership with Penzance, a Washington, DC-based real estate developer, to co-develop 7.6 acres centrally located in the heart of the largest data centre market in the world.
The site supports customers seeking high-performance capacity with low-latency access to leading cloud hubs and supporting network access across Northern Virginia.
“With the acquisition of additional land in Northern Virginia, EdgeCore adds another key data centre location to our portfolio and continues to advance our focus on rapid growth and development in key data centre markets,” said Lee Kestler, CEO, EdgeCore.
“We are pleased to have partnered with Penzance on this project and are grateful for the acceleration they are bringing to the process through their deep regional expertise and connections.”
This newly acquired parcel is planned to accommodate a 285,000 square foot, three-storey data centre, capable of supporting 36 MW of critical load. The site plan approval process is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
A dozen local and national long-haul fibre providers are located adjacent to the site, making EdgeCore’s newest data centre location in Northern Virginia an attractive option for leading cloud and Internet companies.
