Amazon has agreed to occupy two data centers that Starwood Capital Group is building in Fairfax County. The tech giant filed paperwork with the county for two addresses at Fairfax’s Renaissance Tech Park near Dulles International Airport, planned to total 2.4M SF, the Washington Business Journal reported. It will be the first tenant at the park, which is under construction across 60 acres in Herndon. 

Starwood purchased the property for $134M in 2019. It entitled the site and is now undertaking a phased construction of four data center buildings and utilities space. The project will be Fairfax County's largest data center campus “by far,” per the WBJ. Fairfax has received spillover demand from Loudoun County, the leading market for the booming data center sector, but Fairfax lawmakers passed new regulations earlier this month to restrict data center development, especially around residential areas.
