ASHBURN, VA–Data center REIT Equinix has acquired four parcels of land in Loudoun County for $34.5 million. The parcels, which are close to Equinix’s current Ashburn data center campus, will be used to build several new  International Business Exchange data centers.

Equinix already has ten IBX data centers in the Washington, D.C. metro area that cover more than 500,000 square feet and serve 850 plus customers. They are, according to the REIT, the largest Internet exchange point in North America and one of the largest in the world. “The acquisition of this property will enable Equinix to accommodate the growing number of global companies that are solving the digital edge through interconnection with the robust ecosystem of strategic business partners located at Equinix’s Ashburn campus,” Karl Strohmeyer, president of the Americas at Equinix, says in a prepared statement.
