The tech giant NVIDIA and Digital Realty are developing a massive 96 megawatt AI data center project in Manassas, Virginia — set to go live in 2026. This ambitious “AI factory” could reshape the economic and real estate landscape across Prince William County and greater Northern Virginia.

A Game-Changer for Manassas and Northern Virginia

Once known primarily for its historic charm and suburban neighborhoods, Manassas is rapidly becoming a hub for advanced technology infrastructure. NVIDIA’s new partnership with Digital Realty marks one of the most powerful AI data center builds in the Mid-Atlantic — a 96 megawatt “AI factory” that will help train and power next-generation AI systems.

This project reinforces Northern Virginia’s growing reputation as the “Data Center Capital of the World.” With over 70% of global internet traffic already passing through the region, this expansion is another sign that the area is becoming essential to both national and global tech infrastructure.

Economic Ripple Effects: Jobs and Development

Beyond the servers and silicon, this project represents major economic growth. NVIDIA’s investment is expected to bring hundreds of high-paying construction, engineering, and data management jobs to Prince William County and nearby communities.

Local suppliers, utility companies, and service providers will likely benefit as well. Infrastructure improvements — from energy capacity upgrades to expanded broadband — could follow, setting the stage for sustained growth across the region.

Impact on Real Estate: What Homeowners Should Expect

For homeowners in Manassas and surrounding parts of Prince William County, this development could increase property values and accelerate market activity. Similar data center projects in Loudoun and Fairfax Counties have led to heightened land demand, rising home prices, and more competition for available inventory.

At the same time, communities close to data center zones may see shifts in zoning, land use, and noise regulations — factors that could influence both commercial and residential real estate planning.
