The record, newest first
Supervisors approved a rezoning from A-3 by 6-3, with proffers capping the campus at 1.3 million sq ft, the same as the by-right limit, and a 500-foot Goose Creek buffer. (Loudoun Now, April 11, 2024)
The board voted 4-3 to reconsider the denial. (DatacenterDynamics, March 2024)
Supervisors voted 5-4 to deny a request to raise allowed space on the site to 2.9 million sq ft (cut from 4.8 million), against the recommendations of staff and the Planning Commission. (Loudoun Now, March 2024; DatacenterDynamics, March 2024)
Conflicts and open questions
- SDC Capital Partners was reported as the applicant through Loudoun GC LLC (DCD). Whether the Sentinel Data Centers buildings on Belmont Ridge Road are on this site was not confirmed in any opened source.
- Vantage's separate 134-acre VA3 campus at 19509 Belmont Ridge Road (vantage-ashburn-iii) is nearby; the sources opened do not tie the two sites together.
- The project counts as contested (denial reversed within weeks).
