In collaboration with JK Land Holdings (JKLH), Yondr Group, worldwide developer, owner operator, and service provider of hyperscale data centers, has started construction of its second 48MW data center in Loudoun County, Northern Virginia. Two months after activating its first 48MW data center in Loudoun County, the 96MW campus, consisting of two buildings, is expected to provide crucial cloud capacity in one of the major data center markets globally.
An important stage of the project has begun with the building of the “cutting-edge” data center. Zero dependency on nearby water sources is ensured by the waterless architecture of the data center, which was created by Yondr’s diverse in-house expertise. This second phase, which has sustainability at its core, would exemplify Yondr‘s ecologically aware business strategy even more. The firm recently revealed goals to reach net zero carbon emissions for scope 1 and scope 2 by 2030.
