180-Acre Data Center Campus Near Richmond Lands Approval

JLL announced that Newport Equities LLC, an affiliate of Province Group LLC, achieved re-zoning approval for a 180-acre data center campus project in Powhatan County, a suburb of Richmond, Virginia.

The County Board of Supervisors approved a re-zoning application for a 60-acre data center site, which follows an earlier approval for an adjacent 120-acre property. Together, the two parcels create an 180-acre data center campus called Powhatan Technology Park.

The proposed data center campus, located about 15 miles west of Richmond’s Central Business District, has multiple transmission lines on site. JLL’s Matt Gallagher will lead marketing for Powhatan Technology Park. Dominion Energy will energize the campus with an initial deployment of 365 MW. The site is approved for two-story buildings and over two million square feet of data centers.

“The visionary approach from both the County Board of Supervisors and Newport Equities positions this as one of the premier data center opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic,” added Matt Gallagher, Executive Managing Director, Brokerage at JLL.
