Status: Under Development / Construction Phase | Location: 5209 Wilkinson Rd, Richmond, VA 23227, United States
The DC BLOX Richmond Data Center, located at 5209 Wilkinson Road in Henrico County, Virginia, represents a specialized telecommunications-focused data center development serving the Richmond regional market. Developed on a portion of an approximately 30-acre site, the facility encompasses approximately 65,000 square feet and is designed to provide up to 10 MW of critical power capacity for colocation, high-bandwidth connectivity, enterprise applications, and custom edge deployments. Its strategic position within Henrico County provides customers with an alternative regional data center location while maintaining access to major telecommunications and business markets across Central Virginia. Electrical infrastructure benefits from direct utility interconnections with Dominion Energy and incorporates redundant static 2N uninterruptible power supply systems alongside backup emergency generators to support continuous operations during utility disruptions. The cooling infrastructure is designed around closed-loop configurations that provide reliable thermal management for customer equipment while supporting increasing rack densities and evolving computing requirements. Network connectivity is a key component of the facility’s infrastructure, with dual diverse subterranean dark-fiber entry vaults providing physically separated telecommunications pathways and supporting resilient connections to regional carriers, cloud platforms, enterprises, and other data centers. The facility is positioned to serve organizations requiring high-capacity, low-latency regional connectivity and secure colocation outside the more concentrated Northern Virginia data center market. Physical security incorporates controlled perimeter access, multi-factor authentication, surveillance systems, secured equipment areas, and zero-trust security principles to protect customer infrastructure. Through its combination of substantial critical power capacity, resilient electrical systems, closed-loop cooling, diverse fiber connectivity, and secure operating environment, the DC BLOX Richmond Data Center strengthens DC BLOX’s regional infrastructure presence and supports the continued growth of digital services throughout Richmond, Henrico County, and the wider Southeastern United States.
