Fortune 50 company pre-leases space in new data center in Loudoun County

Data center provider CyrusOne has preleased more than 12,000 square feet of colocation space to a Fortune 50 company at its new facility in Loudon County. The company, whose name was not disclosed, also has a first right of refusal on another 8,000 square feet.

According to CyrusOne, the presale represents a third of the 30,000 square feet of colocation space that will come online for the first phase of a 124,000-square-foot building the company broke ground on in April.

“This is a current tenant in one of our other data-center facilities that appreciates the scalability and flexibility we can deliver, and has chosen to expand their footprint with us in Northern Virginia,” Tesh Durvasula, CyrusOne’s chief commercial officer, said in a statement.

The 124,000-square-foot building in Sterling also includes 15,000 square feet of Class A office space and up to 12 megawatts of critical load. At full build, the 14-acre site will accommodate a shell of about 400,000 square feet, with up to 240,000 square feet of colocation space, 36,000 square feet of Class A office space and up to 48 megawatts of critical load.

CyrusOne, based in Carrollton, Texas, specializes in enterprise data-center services and colocation solutions. It has more than two dozen data centers across the United States, Europe and Asia.
