Overview
Chirisa Technology Parks (CTP) is a US-based hyperscale and AI data center developer focused on rapid delivery of high-power campuses in secondary markets adjacent to power-constrained hubs. Its portfolio spans more than 850,000 square feet operational with over 1 GW under development across Richmond, VA; Lancaster, PA; Chicago; Piscataway, NJ; and Lynnwood, WA, targeting hyperscale, HPC and AI training tenants.
The Richmond campus (CTP-01 through CTP-06 plus the adjacent DDC campus) is the anchor, scaling toward 360 MW by end of 2026 with a further ~1 GW planned across Lancaster.\n\nCTP is the data center operating platform of Chirisa Investments, a privately held digital infrastructure and real estate firm. Its growth has been fueled by two large joint ventures with Blue Owl Capital: a $5 billion partnership with PowerHouse Data Centers announced in mid-2025 for a next-phase build-out, and a $4 billion Lancaster campus JV closed in August 2025 that added Machine Investment Group as co-partner.
Public reporting has tied the Lancaster development to a CoreWeave AI cloud commitment, positioning CTP among the private developers riding the 2025 AI capex wave.\n\nThe company is led by President and CEO Lee Hayes, with a small executive bench (CFO, CTO, head of business development, and head of US real estate) that manages an external build-and-lease model rather than large internal ops headcount. Employee footprint is modest for the capacity under development (roughly 34 listed on LinkedIn, 51-200 band on the company profile), reflecting the sponsor-plus-developer structure.
