Summary

Loudoun County's land-development applications layer records that on 21 October 2026 performance bond PBOND-2026-0163 was submitted for Sterling Technology Park, described, like its site plan EPLAN-2025-0027 (filed 12 February 2025), as '(Conditional Approval) Sterling Technology Park - Proposed Construction of Data Center Building ,Mechanical Yards, Guard Booth, and related infrastructure' [sic]. The site plan remains In Review with conditional approval, and no building, zoning or grading permit has been issued on the parcel, so this records a proposed data center building identified by a dated county record; no consent in effect and no physical work are asserted. evidence

Sterling Technology Park — proposed data center building with mechanical yards and guard booth (site plan EPLAN-2025-0027)

Announced last observed as of · Project announcement

Besides the three Sterling Technology Park records, the description search for '2025-0027' returns only unrelated records that cite other 2025-0027 numbers (Global Plaza special exception SPEX-2025-0027 and Equinix Ashburn North LEGI-2025-0027 special exceptions, all In Review since 2024-2025); no other non-correspondence record references EPLAN-2025-0027. evidence

Nine county parcels intersect the bounding box of the EPLAN-2025-0027 application polygon. One lies wholly inside it and none of the others overlaps it: PIN 033453879000 (12.211 legal acres, Sterling Business Park), whose geometry equals the application polygon (symmetric difference 0.0 acres). The adjoining parcel 033354189000 to the south carries the separate Dulles Electric commercial building. evidence

One county address point lies inside the application polygon: 22400 Shaw Rd, Sterling (PIN 033453879000, 23 m from the centroid). A second point (405 Glenn Dr) belongs to a neighbouring parcel. evidence

The county issued-permits table lists one permit on the parcel: a 2009 elevator-maintenance permit for an existing tenant alteration at 22400 Shaw Rd, which shows an existing building on the property. No building, zoning, grading or trade permit for the data center has been issued. evidence

The layer holds 80 PBOND-2026 and 147 PLAT-2026 records. Plat numbers rise with their application dates without exception (PLAT-2026-0001 on 6 January to PLAT-2026-0160 on 23 October 2026); bond numbers mostly rise with their dates (PBOND-2026-0002 on 15 January to PBOND-2026-0174 on 23 October 2026), with seven adjacent inversions in which a later-numbered bond carries an earlier date (the largest is PBOND-2026-0137, dated 18 May 2026, after PBOND-2026-0135 of 19 August), so a bond's date can precede the assignment of its number. The bonds relied on sit in sequence with their neighbours: PBOND-2026-0121 to 0124 on 7 August, between PBOND-2026-0120 (4 August) and 0125 (10 August); PBOND-2026-0150 and 0151 on 5 October, between 0149 (30 September) and 0152 (9 October); PBOND-2026-0163 on 21 October, between 0162 (19 October) and 0164 (21 October). PLAT-2026-0121 on 12 August sits between 0120 (9 August) and 0122 (12 August). The newest bond and plat applications are dated 23 October 2026. evidence

Planar centroid of the Loudoun County land-development application polygon for EPLAN-2025-0027 (one ring, 12.27 geodesic acres, about 400 by 232 m), identical to the polygons of performance bond PBOND-2026-0163 and plat PLAT-2026-0100 and to the whole county parcel 033453879000 (12.211 legal acres). It locates the application property; the position of the proposed building within it is 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 the whole 12-acre application property, and the positions of the proposed buildings within it 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.
