Profile

Project scope: Construction of Amazon IAD92 is slated to start in 2024 and complete in 2026/2027, with a planned power capacity of 30 MW and a building footprint of approximately 210,500 sq ft. The site is a 9.4‑acre parcel at 45950 Pathfinder Plaza, Sterling, VA.
Power and grid: 147.5 MW of contracted power is reported for the exact facility.
Compute role: The site comprises three one‑story data center buildings totaling ~442,000 sq ft, leased to a global cloud computing platform, indicating a hyperscale cloud operation for Amazon Web Services.
Cooling and environment: Free-air/outside-air economization (primary, low-water). Direct evaporative cooling (used during peak hot hours; AWS has implemented reclaimed-water feeds in Northern Virginia). AWS reduces potable-water use via reclaimed-water adoption and by using direct evaporative cooling in Northern Virginia; no asset-specific environmental-impact study or measured local impacts for IAD92 located in reviewed records.
Local reporting: Amazon Data Services acquired a 33‑acre assemblage known as TransDulles Centre 2 at 45900 Pathfinder Plaza, including 45930 and 45950 Pathfinder Plaza, for $135.75 million, comprising three one‑story data centers totaling approximately 442,000 sq ft.
