Amazon Web Services is converting Building 6, an existing warehouse at NorthPoint Development's Keystone Trade Center, into a data center. The site lies on the former U.S. Steel Fairless Works along the Delaware River in Falls Township, Bucks County. It is the first phase of Amazon's Falls Township Innovation Campus, which plans up to 10 more data center buildings on about 250 acres. Falls Township supervisors approved the data center use in March 2025, and Amazon named Falls Township in its $20 billion Pennsylvania investment plan in June 2025.
PECO serves the campus under a transmission security agreement that FERC approved in November 2025, and PECO energized its first lines to the site in June 2026. Installation of backup diesel generators began in September 2025. Amazon expects the first sections of the building to enter service in the fourth quarter of 2026. A second-phase air permit for natural gas backup engines drew more than 1,200 public comments in 2026.
