Announced at the turn of the year, the 49-acre campus will comprise three two-story powered shell buildings totaling 900,000 square feet (83,610 sqm).

The first building is expected to be built by Q3 2025. The campus is scheduled to finish construction in 2028.

PowerHouse was founded by American Real Estate Partners (AREP) in 2022. PowerHouse has 30 data centers currently in planning or underway, representing more than 2.3GW of power across Virginia, Texas, Nevada, and North Carolina.

The company currently has a data center campus in Ashburn, Virginia, which was leased to CyrusOne in May 2023, and is planning developments at three other sites in the state, as well as projects in Dallas and Charlotte.

The company has also partnered with Chirisa and Blue Owl to develop new or expand existing data centers across the US, largely dedicated to catering to GPU cloud firm CoreWeave.
