# Amazon AWS IAD-52

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/amazon-aws-iad-52

Amazon AWS IAD-52 is a planned Amazon Web Services data-center building at 11800 Brewers Spring Road in Manassas, Virginia, within PJM. Prince William County's Build Out Analysis records 226,123 square feet of planned gross floor area; that figure describes the proposed building, not IT load. No newer exact-building evidence is used to describe the project as operating, and no facility demand, serving substation, or interconnection point is inferred.

## Identity and location

- Operating status: proposed
- Asset scope: building
- Location: 11800 Brewers Spring Road, Manassas, Prince William County, Virginia
- Operator: Amazon Web Services (exact asset)

## Power and grid context

- Backup generation: 45 MW · approved · exact asset · as of 2014-05-08 — Eighteen Caterpillar Model 3516C-HD diesel engine-generator sets at IAD-52, rated at 2,500 ekW each; aggregate calculated from the permitted unit ratings.
- ISO/RTO: PJM Interconnection
- Balancing authority: PJM Interconnection
- Electric utility: Dominion Energy Virginia (historically Dominion Virginia Power/DVP)

## Development

- Site status: Planned in the current Prince William County Build Out Analysis; a February 2024 county-finance-based inventory separately lists the same parcel as operating with 123,534 square feet.
- Site area: 7.85 acres
- Gross floor area: 226,123 square feet
- Buildings: 1
- Construction: The current Prince William County Build Out Analysis identifies Amazon AWS IAD-52 at 11800 Brewers Spring Road as a planned building with 226,123 square feet of planned GFA and planned permit status. No permit case, construction start/completion date, occupancy date, or commercial-operation date is recorded. A separate February 2024 inventory based on county finance data lists the same parcel as an operating, one-building data center with 123,534 square feet, so the public records reflect different capacity/status states that cannot be reconciled into a dated expansion timeline.

## Compute and operations

- Facility classes: hyperscale, cloud
- Workloads: cloud computing
- Operating context: Amazon AWS IAD-52 is a planned AWS cloud-data-center building at 11800 Brewers Spring Road. The county record lists the building and permit status as Planned, with no occupancy date; therefore, it should not be described as operating. The site is identified as AWS site code IAD52 within the US East (N. Virginia) region.

## Data quality

- The Prince William County record identifies Amazon AWS IAD-52 at 11800 Brewers Spring Road as Planned, with Permit Status Planned and planned gross floor area of 226,123 square feet; occupancy date, permit case, and planning case fields are blank.
- OpenStreetMap independently identifies the Brewers Spring Road building as Amazon IAD52 and lists Amazon Web Services as operator; this supports the site's identity and location, but not its county planning status.
- A third-party IAD-52 directory labels the facility operational and built in 2013, which conflicts with the county record's Planned status. A separate 2026 trade article concerns a different Manassas facility identified as IAD7, not IAD52, and is therefore not exact-asset evidence.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
