# Amazon AWS IAD-59

PJM data center · https://askthegrid.com/assets/facilities/amazon-aws-iad-59

Amazon AWS IAD-59 is a planned Amazon Web Services data-center building at 7600 Doane Drive in Manassas, Virginia, within PJM. Prince William County's Build Out Analysis records 226,132 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

## Development

- Site status: Conflicted: the official county building record is Planned, while exact-building directories report IAD59 as Operating.
- Gross floor area: 226,132 square feet
- Buildings: 1
- Construction: The exact Prince William County record for Amazon AWS IAD-59 at 7600 Doane Drive lists the building as Planned, with planned GFA of 226,132 sq ft, permit status Planned, no permit case, and no year-built or occupancy date. Exact-building sources separately report IAD59 as operating, while Baxtel reports a 2014 year built; these do not establish a construction-start, construction-completion, or commercial-operation date. Virginia’s 2014 DEQ permit authorizes construction and operation of generators at 7600 Doane Drive (IAD59) as part of a multi-address permit.

## Compute and operations

- Facility classes: hyperscale, cloud, ai_hpc
- Workloads: cloud computing, object storage, networking, database services, analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-performance computing, enterprise applications, GPU-intensive AI training and inference
- Operating context: Amazon AWS IAD-59 at 7600 Doane Drive is recorded by Prince William County as a planned data-center building with planned permit status. The intended operating model is an AWS-operated, owner-occupied hyperscale cloud facility supporting cloud and AI/HPC workloads; the available exact-building evidence does not establish that it is operational as of 2026-09-04.

## Data quality

- The exact asset is identified by the Prince William County record as Amazon AWS IAD-59 at 7600 DOANE DR, and independently by OpenStreetMap as Amazon IAD59 at 7600 Doane Drive, operated by Amazon Web Services.
- The current county record marks the building as Planned and its permit status as Planned. A 2014 Virginia DEQ permit names IAD59 and authorizes construction and operation of emergency generators, but that historical permit is not evidence that the building is currently operating.
- The strongest exact-site news item is limited: a 2023 Prince William Times article identifies 7600 Doane Drive and the matching parcel among three Doane Drive data centers, and says one is Amazon-owned, but it does not itself label the building IAD59.
- A 2024 Data Center Dynamics article about Amazon land acquisitions in Manassas concerns Century Park Drive and Vulcan Lane parcels, not 7600 Doane Drive/IAD59. Reports about AWS noise at Tanner Way and litigation over the Prince William Digital Gateway were likewise excluded as different sites.
- No MW, water-use, PUE/WUE, tenant, equipment, building-count, or commercial-term claims are made for this asset.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
