PowerHouse Data Centers is a McLean, Virginia-based developer and owner of large-scale, hyperscale-focused data center campuses, operating as a wholly-owned division of American Real Estate Partners (AREP). Rather than running traditional retail colocation suites, PowerHouse buys land, builds powered shells and build-to-suit facilities, and leases entire buildings or campuses to hyperscale cloud, AI, and enterprise tenants — its first Ashburn, Virginia building (ABX-1) was leased in full to CyrusOne in 2023. Founded in 2022, the company has rapidly expanded beyond its original Northern Virginia base into Texas, Nevada, Kentucky, North Carolina, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, with joint-venture partners including Harrison Street, Provident, Chirisa Technology Parks, Hillwood Investment Properties, and Pennsylvania Data Center Partners. As of mid-2026 it describes itself as among the largest data center developers in the U.S. by pipeline, with well over 5GW of capacity planned, under construction, or delivered across roughly a dozen campuses, though the large majority of its projects remain in active construction or planning stages rather than fully operational.
