List of Top Upcoming Data Centers in Pennsylvania 2025

Amazon’s Pennsylvania AI Innovation Campuses

In June 2025, Amazon announced a USD 20 billion investment in Pennsylvania to develop two data center sites in Pennsylvania. The two projects will be in Salem Township and Falls Township. Salem Township is adjacent to the Susquehanna nuclear power plant with a direct power connection, making it one of the key sites for the project. 

The other will be in Fairless Hills at a logistics campus, the Keystone Trade Center, which was a former US Steel mill site powered by the public electricity grid. Multiple additional Pennsylvania communities are also under consideration.

Pennsylvania Digital I (PAX)

The Pennsylvania Digital I is a 1.35 GW data center project announced by the joint venture of Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers. The project is planned in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, covering a 700-acre site. 

The Pennsylvania Digital I data center will be supported by a 450 MW substation and will comprise three data center campuses with large-scale buildings. The first 300 MW capacity of the project is expected to be achieved by Q2 2027. The project cost is estimated to be USD 15 billion and is expected to generate over USD 65 million in direct tax revenue for local districts. 

The campus will feature connectivity to 17 metropolitan fiber networks (including direct peering with Ashburn, Virginia), making it an AI/data-center hub.

CoreWeave Lancaster County Data Center

CoreWeave announced it is investing more than USD 6 billion in a new data center in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It is planned as a hyperscale facility with 100 MW capacity, with plans to expand to 300 MW. 

Chirisa Technology Parks, a division of Chirisa Investments, along with Machine Investment Group, intends to develop two data centers in Lancaster. The hyperscale facility will be built on a former site of the R.R. Donnelly Printing Plant. 

Currently, the project is in the early stages of construction, and it will be leased to Coreweave. The first phase of the project is expected to be operational by Q1 of 2027. The Lancaster County data center is being built to support high-performance AI workloads.

Project Gravity by Western Hospitality Partners

Project Gravity is a multi-building data center site in Archbald. The data center is proposed in northeast Pennsylvania by Western Hospitality Partners. The campus would span 135,000 square feet per floor, suggesting 1.62 million sq ft of floor space across the whole campus. It will comprise six two-story buildings and seven data center buildings supported by two on-site substations.

Planning applications have been filed by Archbald 25 Developer LLC with the Pennsylvania Department of State. Archbald 25 Developer LLC is the operating name of Western Hospitality Partners. 

The company signed a memorandum of purchase and sale agreement in October 2024 to buy a 186.21-acre parcel in Archbald from property owner Five Up Realty LLC, which bought the land from Louis and Dominick DeNaples’ Dunmore-based D&L Realty Company in May 2023 for USD 825,000.

Air Products' data center campus in Pennsylvania

In November 2025, Air Products announced its plans to develop a 2.6 million sq ft data center campus in Upper Macungie Township in Lehigh County, outside Allentown. 

It is a 194-acre data center project, also known as the Centronia Road Data Center will include three buildings ranging from 435,600 sq ft to 1.23 million sq ft. The site is located along Hamilton Boulevard and Cetronia Road, which was Air Products' headquarters. 

The company moved its headquarters to Mill Creek Road in 2021 and planned a warehouse complex with Prologis, which received approval in 2023. The land had multiple buildings operated by a specialty chemical company, Evonik, and a chemical & material testing company, Intertek, in 2024. 

Recently, in 2025, Air Products requested Upper Macungie Township to update its rezoning laws and presented a proposal request for a  2.6 million sq ft data center campus on that site.
