Market guide / Baltimore and the Maryland corridor

Baltimore network buildings and Anne Arundel campuses need separate shortlists.

This guide covers Baltimore and the Maryland corridor through Anne Arundel, Howard and Prince George's counties. Frederick County, Montgomery County and Washington, DC have separate guides.

Baltimore and the Maryland corridor data center and colocation evidence
Market profile

What the public evidence can tell you

The public evidence describes two different searches. Baltimore and the BWI corridor have buildings with network listings. Air records at Annapolis Junction, Jessup and Severn name Microsoft and Amazon sites, but do not establish space for another tenant. Begin with the address that fits the requirement, then confirm power and space directly.

Choose the corridor before the operator

Baltimore and BWI

PeeringDB lists network presences at Baltimore facilities and at TierPoint Baltimore BWI in Linthicum Heights. Network listings can share an address or campus, so these are registry entries rather than a deduplicated property survey.

Anne Arundel County

The linked air records name Microsoft on Dorsey Run Road, Amazon LTW060 at Jessup and Amazon LTW062 at Severn. These campuses are distinct from the operator buildings in the interconnection table. The permit record does not show what another customer could lease.

Beltsville and Laurel

AiNET listings extend the network evidence south of Baltimore. Test the actual address against your office, carrier routes and support needs. A Baltimore-wide total cannot establish latency or diverse fiber paths for this corridor.

Separate Maryland searches

Frederick County and Montgomery County are tracked separately. Washington, DC listings remain on the Northern Virginia guide so they are not counted twice.

Air-register evidence, not a construction schedule

These air-register entries have no filing dates in the collected records. The IBM Annapolis entry is marked Permanently Closed. That status stays visible below; its inclusion in the register total is not evidence of operating inventory or current construction. The Control Data Corp. entry in Woodlawn is marked Operating, but Control Data Corporation was broken up in 1992. Read that name as an old register entry, not a live operator, and confirm who occupies the address today.

Air-register records in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, including Microsoft and Amazon sites in Anne Arundel County and a permanently closed entry at Annapolis. Every figure below is a count of filings we collected ourselves, and every row links to the record it came from.

Collected from EPA ECHO air facility records for Maryland. A permit or air-register entry documents a site or proposed work. It does not establish current construction or available space, and no public filing anywhere discloses what is contractible at a named building. That answer comes from an operator call, which is the part we do by hand. See how we verify capacity.

Check the underlying records

These public entries were checked against our collected data on 24 September 2026. Each link opens its EPA record. A register status does not establish a current commercial offering.

Where network operators list a presence

The following counts are PeeringDB listings. A network listed in more than one building contributes a presence at each; these are not unique regional carrier counts. Multiple registry entries can also refer to the same property. Confirm the required carriers and routes at the exact address.

Who is actually plugged in across Baltimore and the Maryland corridor

A building existing and a building being connected are different facts, and only one of them decides whether your traffic can get where it needs to go cheaply. These figures come from PeeringDB, which the network operators themselves maintain. Any building below can be looked up there by name.

From PeeringDB, which is maintained by the network operators present in these buildings rather than by the landlords, which is what makes it worth more than a directory. Two limits. Entries are voluntary, so a building showing no networks may be single tenant or may simply never have registered. And a network being present says nothing about whether the building has space, power or a price for you: that is still a call.

Facility inventory coverage

Our committed verified-inventory snapshot has no separate coverage for this region. We therefore publish no inventory count or available-space estimate here. Public air and network records remain separate evidence, with their own limits. See what verified building means.

What has been announced in Baltimore and the Maryland corridor

Announcements are not filings. Nobody has to build what they announce, the figure is the one the developer chose to publish, and the date moves. They are here because megawatts are what a requirement is measured in, and because the size of what is coming changes who will take your call. Every figure below links to a published report that states it, and was checked against at least one other independent report before it was written down.

Announced, not filed1 projectLargest: 150 MW
CapacityOperatorProjectWhat was announced
150 MWSecurity Land and Development LPProposed campus at 1500 Woodlawn DriveWMAR and Data Center Dynamics describe a proposal for the Woodlawn site. Early coverage suggested construction could begin in June or July 2026. That target is superseded: on 22 September 2026 the Baltimore County Council voted unanimously to extend its moratorium on data center permits through the end of 2027. No new county supply should be expected before 2028. Reported proposed campus capacity; the reports do not establish critical IT load or energized power
Read this before quoting any of it

The Woodlawn proposal is separate from the five air-register entries above. Its reported campus figure is not a verified IT-load figure or current supply. No IT-load total is inferred from the backup generators at the Microsoft and Amazon sites. A buyer needs current project approvals and operator confirmation before relying on a delivery date. Read the reporting.

Announced capacity is collected by hand from trade reporting and company statements, and each figure links to the report it came from. It is kept apart from the permit record above and never added to it: one is a document a jurisdiction issued, the other is a plan a company published. Neither is availability.

The proposed scale is reported independently by WMAR and Data Center Dynamics. Both describe a proposal, not delivered capacity.

The Woodlawn start date in the table is out of date. Woodlawn is in Baltimore County, and the county has paused data center approvals. On 22 September 2026 the County Council voted unanimously to extend that moratorium through the end of 2027. While it runs, the county will not issue data center permits or approve related development plans or zoning petitions (CBS Baltimore). The county first passed the moratorium earlier in 2026. Treat the June or July 2026 start as superseded. Do not plan on new Baltimore County supply before 2028.

How to compare an actual requirement

For a requirement tied to Baltimore staff or networks, start with the specific buildings above. Compare larger requirements with Northern Virginia and Frederick County using the same usable power, density and delivery milestones. Do not assume that a nearby hyperscale site is an alternative supplier.

Ask for a dated answer

Request the sellable IT load, rack density, cooling method, carrier access and ready-for-service date in writing. Distinguish power already delivered from power that depends on utility work. Record whether a quote reserves space and how long that reservation lasts.

Pricing context. This guide carries no posted list price for this corridor yet. A number here comes from a quote. For the nearest rates we track, see Ashburn colocation pricing. The cost estimator gives an illustrative range based on Ashburn. Use it as a reference point, not a local price.

Anne Arundel County passes a data center moratorium that stops new applications but lets filed plans and adjacent expansions proceed

The Anne Arundel County Council passed Bill 63-26 by a 7-0 vote on October 5, 2026, according to the county's legislation page. [Source 1] The amended bill text posted by the county bars the county from accepting new applications of any type for a proposed data storage center during an Effective Period that runs from the bill's effective date until the earlier of January 31, 2028 or the effective date of comprehensive rules based on a work group's recommendations. Plans filed before that period begins, and future phases of existing data centers on adjacent or adjoining properties, may proceed. [Source 2] The bill also repeals the county's personal property tax assessment reduction for qualified data storage centers. [Source 1]
