The development would be located off Mills Drive along Cosner Drive, outside Fredericksburg in Cosner’s Corner.

According to the application, the second phase would include the development of three buildings and associated infrastructure.

The development would impact around 2.3 acres of wetland.

Founded in 2022, PowerHouse is a wholly-owned division of American Real Estate Partners. The company has projects in operation and development across Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. The company’s pipeline reportedly totals more than 6GW of capacity.

After acquiring land in January 2024, the company broke ground on the Powerhouse 95 campus in July of the same year, with the first 150MW phase of delivery previously due in Q4 2025. The 145-acre site will host up to seven multi-story buildings totaling up to 300MW and 1.75 million sq ft (162,580 sqm). The company has previously said the site could total 900MW.

While Northern Virginia is the data center capital of the world, Spotsylvania County, located south of Culpeper County, isn’t traditionally known for data center development. Amazon, however, is known to be targeting several campuses in the county, while there are several other projects in the works in the area.
