Summary

QTS's Ashburn 1 campus page, in its version modified on 9 September 2026 (archived on 20 September), lists 'ASH1 DC2: 22280 Randolph Drive, Sterling VA 20166 (under construction)' alongside the operating DC1 at 22271 Broderick Drive on its 28-acre, two-building campus, and gives 22.5 MW+ of critical power capacity for DC2. Loudoun County's LandMARC records show DC2's core-and-shell building permit (issued 15 January 2025) still open, with DC2 data-hall, sprinkler and rack-installation permits issued from July to October 2026. This records DC2 as under construction on 9 September 2026, the latest operator-published date of the statement; the page's 'coming online Q2 2026' is a target and is not used, and completion, commissioning and operation are not established. evidence

Location details

Coordinates: 38.99910, -77.44983
Geometry licence: public-record-source-terms
Use scope: Campus locator
Scope class: official_tax_parcel_union_centroid
Authority: Official source
Source entity: Campus
Method: official_parcel_union_centroid
Derivation: direct_geometry
Precision scope: Planar centroid of the union of Loudoun County parcels MCPI 044152877000 (DC1, 16.33 geodesic acres) and 044155625000 (DC2, 7.26 geodesic acres), Broad Run Business Center A2 (one polygon, 23.59 geodesic acres, about 396 by 439 m). It locates the two-building campus property, not the DC2 footprint; the two parcels total less than the 28 acres QTS states.
Horizontal uncertainty: Not reported
The county publishes no positional accuracy for its parcel polygons; the centroid represents a 23.6-acre, two-parcel campus property, and DC2 occupies the smaller, south-eastern parcel.
Geometry evidence: f6fb5cac

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.
