Site Selection Group, LLC, a leading location advisory, economic incentive, and corporate real estate services firm, is pleased to announce that they assisted a confidential hyperscale data center developer in identifying and securing land for continued expansion in Central Virginia.
The transaction supports the developer’s growing data center footprint in one of North America’s most competitive infrastructure markets. Central Virginia has become a focal point for hyperscale data center investment due to its connectivity, power infrastructure, and proximity to major population centers.
Site Selection Group’s Data Center practice provided site selection advisory services, helping the client identify a strategic parcel capable of supporting large-scale data center development and future expansion. The project is designed to support increasing demand for cloud services and AI-driven computing capacity while incorporating clean energy procurement strategies aligned with hyperscale sustainability goals.
In a market where suitable land and power availability remain highly constrained, securing a viable development site required disciplined evaluation of infrastructure readiness, power delivery pathways, and long-term scalability. Site Selection Group’s team worked closely with the client to identify opportunities and negotiate favorable land economics to support the project’s long-term viability.
“Securing land with a defined pathway to power for hyperscale data centers will continue to be challenging in constrained markets,” said Jeff Sheehan, Senior Vice President with Site Selection Group’s Data Center practice. “The solution to power with the right land still is the foundation for successful, scalable projects.”
The acquisition highlights the continued expansion of large-scale data center infrastructure into emerging markets across North America as technology companies seek new locations capable of supporting the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and cloud computing workloads.
