Northern Virginia is the largest data center market in North America and globally, with 8.7 GW of commissioned power1. The reliability and scalability of its power supply, abundant availability of water and dense fibre networks have continued to allow Northern Virginia to retain its dominance as the most important data center market globally.
In Northern Virginia, vacancies have consistently fallen since 2020 to as low as 0.4% in 2024, on the back of strong absorption averaging approximately 1 GW in the last two years. This underscores the relative paucity of supply compared to the new capacity being delivered in the market.
