Infrastructure planning report: NA - Northern Virginia

The Northern Virginia Market

The Northern Virginia data center market stands head and shoulders above every other data center market in the world. In fact, with over 2000 MW of power deployed and around 12 million square feet of  multi-tenant space, Northern Virginia now provides more operational data center capacity than the next six primary North American  markets combined.

A lot of this growth has taken place recently, with capacity doubling between 2018 and 2021 and unprecedented levels of construction since then. In 2022, high demand and supply and power constraints drove vacancy rates in the region to a record low of 0.98%. Take-up in 2022 also set a new record of 436.9 MW. As of end 2022 there was over 800 MW of data center space under construction.
