Yondr Group has announced that it has started work on a new data center campus in Loudoun County, Northern Virginia. The company is developing the data center in partnership with JK Land Holdings. The data center campus will feature two buildings and deliver up to 96MW of power. It will also have room for expansion in the future. Yondr Group’s COO, Global Design and Construction, Eanna Murphy, said: “Northern Virginia is the nation’s data center corridor and a strategic metro where we see some of the largest cloud capacity demands. This groundbreaking marks our first facility in the Americas, and we are looking forward to serving our clients’ capacity needs in this region.”
The CEO of JK Land Holdings, Chuck Kuhn, also commented on the development. He said: “This project is located in one of the most sought-after data center locations in the world, and we are looking forward to our continued work with Yondr as we get this project off the ground.” Yondr has been active since it announced its plan to invest $2bn in data center expansion in South and North America. The company has acquired up to 270 acres of land in Northern Virginia. It also plans to develop up to 500MW data center capacity on the land.
