A data center facility located at 11751 Meadowville Lane in Chester, Virginia, is being offered for sale or lease by JLL. Situated on 28 acres in Chesterfield County, south of Richmond, the 192,600 sq ft (17,900 sqm) building was constructed in 2007 and features 49,500 sq ft (4,600 sqm) of raised flooring space. Fiber connectivity is available through providers Comcast and Verizon.
The facility previously operated as the Commonwealth Enterprise Solutions Center (CESC) for the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA), which moved its operations out in 2022. Its operational history includes being run by Northrop Grumman on behalf of VITA and being owned by COPT Data Center Solutions. The site was last purchased in 2017 for $44 million by an entity connected to the New York-based financial firm Global Securitization Services.
