Overview
CleanArc Data Centers is a US hyperscale data center developer that pairs campus-scale builds in Tier 1 and Tier 1 Adjacent markets with what it calls "True Additionality," a model that structures new renewable power projects onto the same grid the campus loads. The company positions itself less as a colocation landlord and more as a build-to-suit developer for cloud and AI training tenants, using offsite manufacturing of mechanical and electrical modules to shorten schedules.
Its two publicly announced projects define the near-term portfolio: a 900 MW campus in Caroline County, Virginia, where the company broke ground in November 2025, and a 245 MW infill campus at the Dallas Market Center in central Dallas, developed in partnership with Crow Holdings. Together those two sites represent roughly 1.1 GW of announced capacity.
CleanArc has stayed private about its financial sponsor and headcount, presenting itself as a team of data center and power-structuring veterans led by CEO James Trout. Recent hires (an SVP of Finance in 2026 and a legal-background COO) suggest the company is scaling its capital-markets and delivery muscle as the Virginia project moves into vertical construction.
