No American city is adding data centers faster than Richmond, Virginia, and the gap is only growing.
Richmond’s data center inventory surged more than sevenfold in the first half of the year, adding more capacity than any other U.S. market, according to Avison Young.
The region jumped from just over 100 megawatts to more than 800 MW in less than six months, transforming the capital city from a digital backwater into one of the nation’s most important infrastructure hubs.
But Richmond’s meteoric rise may be nearing its first real test.
