Property Highlights

  • 115.9 ac fee simple, single owner, vacant & buildable; 51-ac data center subdivision platted Jul 2026; phase 1 permitted first on 13 ac
  • 1,240 MW total planned power program by 2030 (gas, grid, BESS, solar)
  • 116 MMCF/d high-pressure gas verified in writing by TC Energy at the tap; up to 600 MW on-site gas + hydrogen
  • Phase 1: 30–100 MW on 13 ac (5-ac front + 8-ac western frontage) — ~180,000 SF across three buildings on the executed Peoples Gas supply plus grid-tied battery; online Q4 2027 at the earliest, likely Q1 2028
  • Full-site scale: a ~500,000 SF single-storey footprint holds 250–300 MW; two storeys reach 500–600 MW
  • 17.5 MW DLC interconnection agreement (legacy solar generation export); 345 kV / 600 MW tap in study
  • Township data-center text amendment adopted 2026; rezone to LI/HI required, adjacent parcels already LI
  • Downside protection: also pencils as a no-rezone ~500K SF industrial / distribution campus if the DC path stalls

Infrastructure Utilities

Electric Utility
Duquesne Light Company (DLC) — executed 17.5 MW distribution interconnection; serves at 138 kV or below. 345 kV Clinton-Collier tap (0.92 mi) for 600 MW: study filed Oct 2025, no firm grid position yet. Full-campus design: 345/138 kV substation at the tap, three 138 kV lines, three on-site 138/23 kV substations. Distribution growth path: one or two new 23 kV circuits.
Gas Utility
TC Energy (Columbia Gas Transmission / TCO) high-pressure, <2 mi from the site, ~116 MMCF/d verified in writing; high-pressure service study restart in progress via Peoples Gas (Sept 2026). Peoples Natural Gas 8-inch low-pressure line extension executed May 2026 (2,400 MCF/d) — supports phase 1 today.
Water
16-inch high-pressure water main on-site (Burgettstown Rd frontage), served by Findlay Township Municipal Authority
Sewer
12-inch sanitary sewer on parcel with existing on-site pump station; FTMA Act 537 plan (2024) anticipates $30M sewage capacity expansion
Renewables
Existing 600 kWp (0.6 MW) solar interconnected & operating; planned solar scaling to ~10 MW; solar + virtual net-metering offsets; 200 MW/800 MWh BESS; hydrogen linear generators
Behind the Meter Options
BTM natural gas is the core thesis: up to 600 MW on-site gas + hydrogen generation. Candidate technologies: Enchanted Rock modular gas gensets (3 MW blocks), Mainspring linear generators, or Bloom Energy fuel cells (seller rates Bloom above Mainspring on emissions; a combined-cycle plant fits in 12–15 ac but is water-heavy). Generation technology is selected by the buyer / power-plant owner. Plus battery storage and solar.

Property Description

115.9-acre powered-land data center campus in Findlay Township, Allegheny County, PA — 4 mi from Pittsburgh International Airport (PJM West). Single owner since 2021, fee simple, title insured; a 51-acre data center subdivision was platted July 2026, with graded pads for up to 1.4M SF. Amazon logistics next door.

Power — campus plan 1,240 MW total by 2030

  • Behind-the-meter natural gas is the anchor: 116 MMCF/d verified in writing by TC Energy at the tap; up to 600 MW on-site gas + hydrogen generation, plus battery storage and solar.
  • Phase 1: a 13-acre first phase (5 acres up front plus 8 acres on the western frontage) marketed at 30–100 MW — ~180,000 SF across three buildings (a three-storey office and two-storey data-center buildings), on the executed Peoples Gas 2,400 MCF/d supply plus grid-tied battery storage, with generation on the western frontage. The campus stays one parcel; only the permits are phased. Site work finishes summer 2027; first capacity comes online Q4 2027 at the earliest, likely Q1 2028. The balance of the 116 ac stays reserved for the power plant and later phases.
  • Grid: 17.5 MW DLC interconnection agreement (legacy solar-project generation export, not load off-take); a 345 kV tap (0.92 mi) for 600 MW is in study (filed Oct 2025, est. complete Sept 2026) — no firm grid position yet. Duquesne serves at 138 kV or below, so the full-campus design adds a 345/138 kV substation at the tap and three on-site 138/23 kV substations.

Site

  • Zoning: BPK Commercial Business Park. Findlay Township adopted a data-center text amendment in 2026; the use requires a rezone to LI or HI. Adjacent parcels east and south are already LI, setbacks are identical, and landscape buffer is the only added requirement — rezone viewed as low-risk. Diligence complete and in the data room: ALTA/boundary/topo/aerial survey, two wetland delineations, two geotechnical studies, avian study, PA Game Commission, FAA, and archaeological work.
  • Water: 16-inch municipal main on the frontage; on-site sewer pump station + force main.
  • Fiber: DQE Communications + EverStream (2.32-mi route in ROW, 1.13-mi alternate).

Structure

  • Outright sale or JV. The seller prefers one buyer for the whole campus; the plat also allows a phased take-down or parcel leases off the recorded preliminary plat.

Figures subject to diligence.

Additional Details

Zoning
BPK - Commercial Business Park, with Mining Overlay District. Findlay Township adopted a data-center text amendment in 2026: data-center use requires a rezone to Light Industrial (LI) or Heavy Industrial (HI). Rezone viewed as low-risk — adjacent parcels east and south are already LI, setbacks are identical, and landscape buffer is the only added requirement. CUP3/CUP4/CUP11 cover solar & EV only; a data-center CUP has not been acquired, so the site is unentitled for DC use today. No-rezone fallback: ~500K sq ft industrial/distribution campus.
Workforce Access
Airport corridor - 4 mi to Pittsburgh International Airport; established commercial-industrial corridor (Amazon LBE1/PIT2, Findlay & Ridge Road Industrial Parks); strong workforce, logistics and fiber depth
Government Incentives
PA Computer Data Center Equipment Sales & Use Tax Exemption (Act 25 of 2021), $100M / 45-job threshold (Allegheny Co); LERTA potential; PA SITES grant; Keystone Opportunity Zone where applicable.
Community Sentiment
Corridor politically friendlier than rural PA townships — Amazon precedent, existing industrial character; data center path confirmed with the township.
Flood Zone
Mixed - portions FEMA Zone A (high-risk floodplain), other portions Zone X
