Dynamo DC
Dynamo DC is a data center development company that builds AI data centers on remediated brownfield sites and former energy campuses across Appalachia, the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic. The New York hedge fund Davidson Kempner backs the company, which is based in Springdale, Pennsylvania. Its project entity, Allegheny DC Property Co., LLC, owns the Springdale site.
Its flagship project is the Springdale Data Center, branded the Springdale Dynamo, on the 47-acre site of the former Cheswick Generating Station in Springdale Borough, Allegheny County. The current design is a single 652,300 square foot hyperscale facility. Allegheny County held land development hearings on the project in October 2026.
