Google: Project Skye

Site planned for 2028 and has expansions through 2034

Lot Size: 979 acres

Google's Project Skye is a planned hyperscale data center campus being developed by Google in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

Located at the Upper Magnolia Green West technology village near Moseley, the project received key rezoning approval in May 2025 for nearly 979 acres. This includes an 880-acre Tract A dedicated exclusively to data center and accessory uses, and a 99-acre Tract B zoned for advanced manufacturing, data centers, research & development, and office space.

As part of Google’s broader multi-billion-dollar expansion in Virginia, Project Skye is designed to support growing Google Cloud and AI computing demands, though it remains in the planning stages behind other local initiatives like Project Peanut. The development underscores Chesterfield County’s push to become a major technology hub in the region.
