EdgeCore Internet Real Estate: Ashburn 1 Data Center
About Ashburn 1 Data Center
Located in the heart of Northern Virginia’s “Data Center Alley” — specifically at 45831 Maries Road and 1501 Moran Road, Sterling/Ashburn, VA — EdgeCore’s Ashburn campus is a large-scale wholesale data centre development by EdgeCore Internet Real Estate.
This region is globally recognised as the world’s most densely interconnected data-centre market, offering ultra-low latency, massive fibre density, and proximity to major cloud providers, government agencies and hyper-scale internet infrastructure.
EdgeCore’s Ashburn campus is planned to deliver approximately 608,000 sq ft of building space and support up to 114 MW of critical IT load across its two primary buildings (AS01 & AS02) by 2026.
The facility is positioned to serve high-density, hyperscale cloud, internet and enterprise deployments requiring robust power, connectivity and expansion capabilities in the US East region.
⚙️ Facility Highlights
- Two buildings (AS01 & AS02) forming a campus capable of ~114 MW of IT load upon full build-out across ~608,000 sq ft of space.
- AS01 is slated to deliver ~72 MW; AS02 ~42 MW.
- Modular, large-shell design allowing rapid deployment of hyperscale tenants / large footprints.
- Located in a low-risk (natural disaster) geographic zone, outside major flood plains, with utility infrastructure built for heavy-duty load.
- Designed for high efficiency with a baseline PUE target of ~1.25 and use of advanced cooling technologies (e.g., air-cooled chillers with economisation).
🔐 Security & Compliance
- 24×7 on-site facilities and operations management; full access control with biometric/card entry, CCTV and man-trap entrances.
