The BlackChamber Group, of Washington, D.C., has purchased 65 acres in Northern Virginia that will serve as a data center development<\/a> site, according to the Washington Business Journal<\/em>. The Pruitt Corp. sold the asset for $190 million. Senior Director Jamie Leachman and Director Drake Greer of JLL represented the buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located at 10230-10251 Harry J. Parrish Blvd. in Manassas, the property is a five-building, 502,000-square-foot warehouse campus that\u2019s about 98 percent occupied. It\u2019s near Prince William Parkway and the Manassas Regional Airport while being also 8 miles from a six-building industrial portfolio<\/a> that recently traded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The property is a by-right data center development site of up to 2 million square feet within Prince William County\u2019s Data Center Opportunity Zone Overlay District. JLL listed it for sale on behalf of Pruitt in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JLL declined to comment on the deal and BlackChamber could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going to the country<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year, according to a February report from Newmark, \u201cNorthern Virginia persisted as the leading region for development site purchases by hyperscalers capturing roughly one-third of the total volume and cementing its position as the nation\u2019s most critical data center hub.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, however, there seems to be a growing level of data center development in Virginia\u2019s more rural areas, well away from the usual NoVa locations near Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, AVAIO Digital Partners unveiled plans<\/a> to build a $3 billion data center campus on 452 acres in Appomattox County, Va., about 90 miles west of Richmond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November, TECfusions landed $300 million<\/a> in funding to expand its 37.5 megawatt data center campus in Clarksville, Va., which is barely 5 miles from the North Carolina line and closer to Raleigh, N.C., than to Richmond, Va.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
