PowerHouse Data Centers has signed an unnamed hyperscaler at its PowerHouse Arcola campus in Loudoun County, Virginia. The lease is described as long-term, though it has not been stated if the hyperscaler will take up all the capacity at the campus.
"PowerHouse Arcola's lease execution underscores the trust hyperscale operators place in our ability to deliver capacity in the most power‑constrained and competitive markets," said Douglas Fleit, CEO and co-founder of AREP & PowerHouse Data Centers. "Arcola provides a power‑secure, fiber‑dense campus in the heart of Data Center Alley, offering hyperscale customers a purpose‑built environment with the scale, connectivity, and certainty they demand."
"Demand for secure, scalable digital infrastructure powering AI, cloud, and enterprise growth has never been stronger. These fundamentals remain central to AREP's Fund investment thesis, giving us the framework to advance larger, campus‑scale developments," added Brian Katz, president and co-founder of AREP & PowerHouse Data Centers. "Arcola exemplifies how we deploy fund capital with discipline, securing extended lease terms, creating long‑term value for our investors, and delivering power‑ready capacity for hyperscale customers."
