What the sources establish

  • Equinix’s facility page identifies DC12 as a Northern Virginia-market facility. [1]
  • Equinix lists the street address as 44790 Performance Circle, Ashburn, VA 20147. [1]

Why this location has its own dossier

The Loudoun County parcel record for 44790 Performance Circle identifies a 44.53-acre parcel. This dossier does not infer the facility’s power capacity, water use, or customer roster.

What this page does not establish

  • Current MW capacity, load, or expansion plans.
  • Named customers, tenants, or traffic carried through the facility.
  • Water source, water use, generator inventory, emissions, or noise measurements.
  • Local permits, tax agreements, zoning conditions, or utility contracts.

Operator-published facility profile

DC12 is listed at 114,323 ft² in a two-story concrete-and-steel data-center building. The operator publishes N+1 UPS/generator/cooling redundancy, a 30-hour-or-more generator-autonomy statement, solar PV, and grey-water reuse for irrigation/cooling.

Equinix lists DC12 with 24/7 on-site operational coverage and places it in the Ashburn campus / Washington, D.C. interconnection market.

How to use this information: these are operator-published design, product, or coverage details. They do not establish real-time load, tenant identity, actual water use, generator emissions, or future expansion.

What to check next

  1. The operator’s current facility page for service and availability information.
  2. Ashburn (Loudoun County) planning, building, and fire-permit records for site-specific conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Equinix DC12?

Equinix lists DC12 at 44790 Performance Circle, Ashburn, VA 20147.

No. The listed sources establish the facility identity and address, not a current capacity figure, water profile, power contract, or tenant roster.

Local records and verification checklist

This dossier distinguishes what its cited source establishes from records that must be checked locally. A facility name or map pin alone does not establish its current power demand, water use, permits, tenants, construction status, or property boundary.

Map location
Use the precision label on this page. Address-level pins are approximate reference points, not surveyed entrances or parcel outlines.
Planning and zoning
Check the relevant city or county planning portal for case numbers, zoning, hearings, site plans, conditions, and staff reports.
Building and fire permits
Check local building and fire records for permit numbers, building scope, generator systems, inspections, and occupancy records.
Power and water
Check utility filings, interconnection records, water/wastewater permits, and public-agency meeting materials before making resource-use claims.
Air, noise, and stormwater
Check air-quality permits, generator-test conditions, noise studies, stormwater documents, setbacks, landscaping, and screening requirements where available.
Public benefits and timeline
Check development agreements, tax records, incentive documents, hearing minutes, and dated project announcements for commitments and milestones.

Information boundaries

Unless a linked primary source says otherwise, this page does not identify customers, tenant names, real-time capacity use, exact utility consumption, generator emissions, taxes paid, jobs created, or future expansion. Those claims need a specific public or operator source.
