ASHBURN, Va. — Vantage Data Centers has marked another milestone in its aggressive expansion in Northern Virginia, topping out the fifth building at its flagship 206MW Ashburn campus in Loudoun County.
In an announcement shared on LinkedIn, the company confirmed that structural work on the five-story VA15 building was completed on July 19, celebrating alongside its partners HITT Contracting, steel fabricator SteelFab, and steel erector Phoenix Steel Erectors.

While Vantage has not disclosed how much IT capacity the new building will provide, the Ashburn 1 campus — known as VA1 — will ultimately feature six data center buildings across 52 acres, delivering over 1 million square feet (93,000 square meters) of critical data infrastructure.
No Final Date Yet for VA1
An official timeline for the VA1 campus’s full completion has not been made public, but the topping out of VA15 signals steady progress for the massive site, which is strategically located at 45200 Vantage Data Plaza in the heart of the world’s densest data center market.
Vantage Keeps Building in Data Center Alley
The Ashburn region — part of Virginia’s famed “Data Center Alley” — remains a top destination for hyperscale developers and cloud providers. Vantage, which is owned by DigitalBridge, is doubling down on the region with multiple builds underway.

In addition to VA1, Vantage is actively constructing VA2 and VA3, two other large campuses nearby that will further strengthen its foothold in Northern Virginia’s booming data infrastructure market.
Part of a National Expansion
Beyond Virginia, Vantage Data Centers continues to expand its North American portfolio, operating or developing sites in Ohio, Georgia, Texas, California, Arizona, and Washington.
The company recently secured a $735 million refinancing loan, backed by its Phoenix facilities, underscoring how critical large-scale funding is to meet skyrocketing demand for cloud capacity and AI workloads.
What’s Next
Once fully built out, the Ashburn VA1 campus is expected to help meet the soaring power and capacity needs of cloud giants and enterprise customers.
With data center supply constraints, power availability, and sustainability all under scrutiny in Northern Virginia, industry watchers will be tracking Vantage’s progress closely as it pushes toward completing all six buildings on the massive site.
