Aligned

CBRE is recruiting a Data Center Construction Project Manager for Frederick, MD, signaling an active build in the Northern Virginia–Maryland corridor. The project involves Aligned as developer and Turner Construction as general contractor. Specific capacity and project value are undisclosed. GCs, subs, and equipment vendors should contact Aligned and Turner Construction directly to pursue scoping and procurement opportunities on this Frederick build.

Turner Construction celebrated the topping out of Aligned's IAD-06 data center in Frederick, Maryland, completing the structural phase of the 72-megawatt, 450,000-sq-ft facility on a 75-acre campus. The milestone was reached in fewer than five months after breaking ground, with over 80,000 craft hours logged and approximately 345 workers on site. The two-story structural steel facility features an insulated precast exterior and a hybrid liquid- and air-cooled system.

Turner Construction has completed the structural topping out phase of the Aligned IAD-06 Data Center in Frederick, Maryland, marking a major milestone in the hyperscaler facility's construction timeline. The project scale and power capacity specifications were not disclosed in the announcement, limiting visibility into the facility's total investment value and operational footprint. The project is transitioning from the structural phase into mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) installation and final buildout, with commissioning expected to follow in subsequent quarters. The topping out celebration by Turner signals momentum in the Northern Virginia data center corridor, where Aligned continues expanding regional capacity to serve cloud and enterprise demand. Subcontractors and MEP vendors should expect increased procurement activity and labor demand over the next 12 to 18 months as the project moves into its intensive systems integration phase.
