Chirisa Technology Parks (CTP), the wholesale and hyperscale data center development platform of Chirisa Investments, this week announced that it is expanding its data center portfolio in partnership with PowerHouse Data Centers. CTP plans to expand its footprint across Virginia, Illinois, Washington, and New Jersey - acquiring two sites likely from CTP sister company Digital Fortress and expanding two of its existing campuses, deploying over 400MW of critical capacity in the process. 

Lee Hayes, managing director of Chirisa and president of CTP, said, "We have employed a patient and long-term strategy at CTP, leveraging our close industry relationships from Chirisa's 25+ year involvement as an investor and operator in tech and telecoms. Our CTP platform is focused on delivering for the specialized and more challenging requirements of large and sophisticated customers. We are very pleased to announce the latest expansion of our footprint today at PTC."

Our shared commitment to exceeding those needs is foundational."
