One year after forming to focus on the technology infrastructure<\/a> needs of rapidly scaling data center businesses, Stack Infrastructure is teaming up with Peterson Cos. to develop a 125-acre hyperscale data center complex in Prince William County, Va., that will have more than 4 million square feet of space.<\/p>\n

The multi-phase development will eventually offer more than 250 MW of critical load for flexible build-to-suit facilities to serve large data center users in the Northern Virginia market. The first phase at the Manassas, Va., site is slated to deliver 700,000 square feet, serving 72 MW of critical capacity by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n

Stack CEO Brian Cox noted in a prepared statement Northern Virginia continues to be the most important data center market in the world. He said Prince William County offers robust power infrastructure and low latency connectivity within one of the densest concentrations of fiber networks in the world. Cox added that low total costs of ownership in the market will allow the company to offer attractive value propositions to its clients.<\/p>\n

Based in Fairfax, Va., Peterson Cos., is one of the largest privately owned real estate development companies in the Washington, D.C., region. Taylor Chess, president of development for Peterson, noted in prepared remarks that combining Stack\u2019s data center expertise with Peterson\u2019s experience in working with local jurisdictions and utilities on complex projects makes them a powerful team. He said four pad sites are already cleared and graded to begin the development and address immediate demand.<\/p>\n

Stacking up projects<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Northern Virginia project comes a week after Stack announced it was expanding its data center campus in Silicon Valley. The company is building a 32 MW, 240,000-square-foot data center adjacent to its existing facility in San Jose, Calif. It will be served through PG&E\u2019s Direct Access program, which enables Stack to procure energy from renewable sources on behalf of its clients to reduce their energy costs.<\/p>\n

It is the fourth expansion project since the company\u2019s launch in 2019. Other projects planned for key U.S. markets are:<\/p>\n
