Power Loft Data Center Offers High Density Scalability and Unique Design Features
In September 2010, COPT announced the formation of a joint venture with James F. Coakley to develop, manage and lease Power Loft data centers. COPT owns a controlling interest in the new joint venture, known as Powerloft Services LLC.
At the same time, COPT acquired a 233,000 square foot data center known as Power Loft @ Innovation in Manassas, Virginia. The two story data center is located at 9651 Hornbaker Road on a secure, 20-acre site within the 1,500 acre Innovation Park that is 30 miles southwest of Washington, DC and part of Northern Virginia's technology corridor. Power Loft @ Innovation is designed for LEED Silver Certification. This innovative data center features a unique two level design that places the 100,000 square feet of raised floor space on the second level with the accompanying equipment directly beneath it on the first level, creating significant efficiencies as well as the ability to increase critical power to keep pace with market demand for more densely powered space. COPT will complete the remaining development with an initial stabilization at 18 megawatts;
full critical load is expected to be up to 30 megawatts.
