For immediate release
Gainesville, VA – (July 29, 2024) – Corscale, an affiliate of Patrinely and Affinius Capital specializing in hyperscale data center development, has commenced construction of its second building at the Gainesville Crossing Campus. The 72 MW facility has been fully leased to an undisclosed hyperscale tenant with an expected completion date of mid-2025.
At buildout, the Gainesville Crossing Campus will encompass 2.3 million square feet over five, two-story buildings and 326 MWs of available power. The campus will offer many energy-efficient features including advanced cooling techniques, energy tracking, water conservation, and an ultra-low PUE. The first building at the campus was completed in May 2024.
“The build-out of our Gainesville Crossing Campus, along with other projects we are bringing to market, gives our customers a competitive advantage when delivering their cloud and AI services,” said Corscale President and CEO Robert Fields. “The continued growth of cloud computing combined with the emergence of artificial intelligence applications is driving explosive demand for data centers. We are one of the few companies bringing new capacity online in Northern Virginia within the next 24 months.”
“This project exemplifies how our vertical integration with Corscale and long track record in development allow us to partner with our tenants to create and execute on bespoke strategies that align business objectives,” added Carrington Brown, senior managing director, development for Affinius Capital.
Corscale’s expansion strategy specifically focuses on tier-one and rising tier-two data center markets in both North America and Europe. Plans include the development of additional sites in Northern Virginia, Phoenix and London, with other locations currently under consideration.
Corgan Associates is the architect for the project and HITT Contracting is the general contractor.
