Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
Cogent's Washington DC metro page lists one data center: 'Washington DC 2 Data Center', 1050 Connecticut Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20036, with '16,763 Sq. Feet, 42U Cabinets, Private Cages available'. It is described as carrier-neutral, with UPS and backup generator. Operational status is inferred from the operator's current colocation listing. Ownership was checked separately: Cogent's 10-facility sale to an I Squared Capital-sponsored entity, closed June 29, 2026, covered Phoenix, Anaheim, Burbank, Stockton, Atlanta, Chicago, Elkridge, Kansas City, Nashville and Houston, and did not include Washington DC. Cogent therefore remains the operator per its own current site. No MW figure is published. A 500 kW generator figure seen only in an aggregator summary was not used. An aggregator also lists a 'Cogent Washington DC 1' at 1120 Vermont Ave NW, but Cogent's own site no longer lists it, so, as of October 2026, it is not tracked as a separate record. A third-party directory also places a CenterServ facility at 1050 Connecticut Ave; that was not verified and is not asserted here. Coordinates are from the US Census geocoder (street-interpolated), so the pin is approximate.
