ASHBURN, VA-Beaumeade Corporate Park, a 461,700-sf data center complex in Loudoun County, will soon come under new ownership. Network data center and Internet exchange services provider Equinix Inc. has agreed to purchase the six-building campus for $53 million.

The Foster City, CA-based company will acquire the 95%-occupied property from Chicago-headquartered Trizec Properties Inc. Equinix operates its flagship Internet Business Exchange Center from three of the six industrial/warehouse buildings--two completely built-out facilities and another that is expansion-ready--and will put the reaming three structures up for sale.

The Morgan Gick and Associates-designed Beaumeade Park occupies a 32.6-acre parcel on Filigree Court near Route 267, or the Dulles Toll Road, and the 1.4-million-sf Dulles Town Center shopping mall. The single-story structures, developed between 1990 and 2000, range in size from 59,000 sf to 148,000 sf.
