CoreWeave Chester VA

Chester, Virginia, United States

CoreWeave Chester VA is an operational AI data center hosting an estimated 88k H100-equivalent chips, scaling toward a projected 126k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 82 MW of IT power, rising to 113 MW — at a capital cost of $3.1 B, rising to $4.3 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia H100 and Nvidia B200 chips. The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery and company disclosures. Chirisa secured $200 million to fit out this CoreWeave-leased facility, reported as a 27 MW site on a 12-year lease.

Based on satellite imagery, Building 3 has cleared its land and is beginning construction. Building 2 is operational judging from the colored motion artifacts on the cooling tower fans.
