Description

Description

Brightseat Associates LLC, an affiliate of Lerner Enterprises and The Tower Cos., secured final approvals in October 2024 to build 4.1 million square feet of data centers across 87 acres at the former Landover Mall site. The $5 billion project, called Brightseat Tech Park, would include five data centers and support up to 820 megawatts of power. Groundbreaking was projected for 2026 or 2027, with an expected generation of $53.5 million in annual local tax revenue once fully built. However, due to strong community opposition, Prince George's County Executive Aisha Braveboy ordered a temporary halt to all data center permitting on September 15, 2025, and the County Council temporarily suspended the review of future data center proposals until recommendations from the Qualified Data Center Task Force are delivered.
