Data center campus acquisition in Richmond and campus extension
in Manassas significantly strengthens Iron Mountain’s global data
center portfolio, to support continued customer demand
Iron Mountain (NYSE: IRM), a global leader in information
management services, has acquired two data center development sites
in Virginia - adding significant planned capacity to support its
rapid growth in the data center market.
These latest acquisitions bring more than 100 acres to Iron
Mountain’s data center development portfolio, and add an estimated
350+ megawatts (MW) of planned future capacity - taking the
company’s total data center capacity to in excess of 1.2 gigawatts
(GW) globally when fully developed.
Iron Mountain’s acquisition of a 66-acre development site in
Richmond, VA will enable it to build a new data center campus with
more than 200 MW of expected capacity. The company’s acquisition of
a 40-acre development site in Manassas, VA enables two planned new
data center buildings at its further expanded Manassas campus,
offering an estimated 150 MW of additional capacity. This
acquisition includes the planned development of an electricity
substation to ensure continued uninterrupted power supply across
the Manassas campus.
These development site acquisitions strengthen Iron Mountain’s
existing data center presence in Virginia. Already well positioned,
Iron Mountain is now adding to its previous local capacity, which
consisted of an 142-acre campus in Manassas offering over 2 million
square feet of energy-efficient space.
Virginia continues to be a top destination for hyperscale data
centers, with strong demand for capacity in areas with a reliable
power supply. Leveraging investment by energy providers to
modernize transmission and distribution infrastructure, and a close
partnership with local economic development authorities, Iron
Mountain’s commitment to Virginia offers its customers secure,
sustainable data centers that meet strict government regulations,
all while benefiting from smart property tax savings.
Mark Kidd, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Asset
Lifecycle Management and Data Centers, Iron Mountain, said: “The
Commonwealth of Virginia has abundant infrastructure, a highly
skilled workforce, strong fiber connectivity, and is a pro-business
community - making it an ideal location to support our commitment
to investing in high-growth markets that help drive our expansion
strategy. As a leading data center provider, we're excited to offer
further critical capacity to our retail and hyperscale customers
where and when they need it most.”
