Cross Mill Center Data Center Site (Sycolin Road, south of Leesburg, Loudoun County)

Announced

United States · 1 project · Last reported

Summary

Loudoun County's land-development applications layer records that on 17 September 2026 a site plan, Engineering Plan EPLAN-2026-0140 'Cross Mill Center', was filed proposing 'the development of two data center buildings with associated infrastructure' and the construction of proffered road improvements along Sycolin Road; it is In Review. The site is the 20.91-acre property the county rezoned from JLMA-20 to PD-IP under LEGI-2023-0064 / ZMAP-2023-0002 (Approved; zoning date 15 July 2025). This records a proposed two-building data center development identified by a dated county record; the filing is not an approval, and no building, zoning, grading or land-disturbance permit has been issued on the seven parcels, so no consent or physical work is asserted. evidence

Fifteen county parcels intersect the bounding box of the Cross Mill Center application polygon. Seven lie wholly inside it and none of the others overlaps it: PINs 192163918000, 192164105000, 192169020000, 193461044000, 193462583000, 193463445000 and 193467168000, with 20.883 legal acres in total (the rezoning names 20.91 acres); their union equals the application polygon (symmetric difference 0.0 acres). The adjoining parcels include units 6 and 7 of the NOVA 1 Business Park land condominium (the Project Celtics campus), which do not overlap the application polygon. evidence

The Project Celtics Phase 1 site plan STMP-2022-0001 and Phase 2 plan EPLAN-2023-0063 ('Proposed buildings 3, 4, and 5 of the Celtics Campus') share a two-part application polygon of 145.02 geodesic acres whose centroid (-77.5451373, 39.0550307) is the Atlas campus locator for Project Celtics. The Cross Mill Center application polygon does not overlap it; the closest edges are about 8.6 m apart and the two centroids 991 m apart. evidence

The 457 land-development applications filed between 25 July and 26 October 2026 include two new site plans for data center buildings: Twin Creeks Buildings 1-3 (EPLAN-2026-0111, 29 July 2026, before the admission window) and EPLAN-2026-0140 Cross Mill Center (17 September 2026), the only one filed on or after 2 August 2026. Other data-centre records in the period are performance bonds, plats, premeetings and minor amendments for older plans (for example Ridgetop Center, Manekin Plaza, Tech Park at Dulles, Dulles Electric Data Centers, Sterling Technology Park and Prologis Park Building 4); no later Cross Mill Center record (approval, bond or revision) appears. evidence

Planar centroid of the Loudoun County land-development application polygon for EPLAN-2026-0140 (one ring, 22.39 geodesic acres, about 382 by 370 m), identical to the polygon of the approved rezoning LEGI-2023-0064 / ZMAP-2023-0002 and to the union of seven whole county parcels (20.88 legal acres). It locates the application property; the positions of the two proposed buildings within it are not documented, and it is not a footprint or works extent.
Horizontal uncertainty
Not reported

The county publishes no positional accuracy for its land-development application polygons; the centroid represents a 22-acre, two-building application property, and the building positions are not documented.

Geometry evidence

A locator places the site on the map. It is not a building footprint, a construction extent or a surveyed boundary unless the use scope is an official boundary, and even then it is a parcel or permit boundary.
