VISION
Developer eyes 10-building, 400-acre data center campus near Wyndham
After a legal fight with Henrico thwarted its plans for a residential project on the same site, HHHunt is back with a new type of development proposal for hundreds of acres it owns beside Wyndham: data centers.
The company, which developed Wyndham four decades ago, has filed plans for a 10-building data center campus on over 400 acres it owns or controls across the county line in Hanover, including the nearby Hunting Hawk Golf Club.​
FOR SALE
Rebranded as Hunting Hawk Technology Park, HH Hunt is already looking for buyers of the 'large scale data center campus'.
HHHunt has filed plans for a large-scale data center campus called Hunting Hawk Technology Park, located outside Richmond, Virginia. The proposed development spans 400 acres and includes up to 10 buildings totaling approximately 3.9 million square feet.
​
The site was previously zoned for residential use but has now been submitted for rezoning to limited industrial, with additional requests for building height exceptions and accessory uses.

FROM RESIDENCES
LOCATION IS EVERYTHING
Even though the site is less than a thousand feet away from the closest Wyndham residences, it is located in Hanover County. Hanover County will decide if the rezoning is approved.
The proposal submitted to Hanover County offers zero protections for Henrico residents
If built as promoted by HHHunt, this facility will be a Hyperscale Data Center designed to support 900 megawatts of power. Fully operational, it would be the 3rd largest in the United States today by megawatts.*
This is an enormous data center with significant water usage, significant pollution, and significant noise. The Voluntary Proffer Statement** received by Hanover County Planning Department on 8/22/25 contains some limited protections for residents of Hanover county.
It makes no mention of Henrico residents.
HIGHLIGHTS
Following are details from the Voluntary Proffer Statement submitted to the Hanover County Planning Department
Residential Buffers
100-150 foot buffers from residential property lines, 200 feet from road frontage. (Industry average is 200-500 foot buffers and residents still complain of noise and vibration.)
​
All protections for residential property owners identified in the proffer statement refer to Hanover County with no mention of Henrico County.
Noise Attenuation
7AM-7PM Mon-Sat generator testing (one standard generartor operates at 85d. Multiply this by hundreds of generators to be tested. All protections for residential property owners identified in the proffer statement refer to Hanover County with no mention of Henrico County.
​
Noise attenuation to ensure conformation to Hanover noise ordinance. How would this apply in Henrico, where there is no noise ordinance?
​
Private Water Source
The water source for this proposed data center is Hanover well water. When data centers draw millions of gallons of water per day from wells, they are pulling from the same aquifer (underground water supply) that local residents use for their private wells. This can lower the water table, causing nearby residential or agricultural wells to run dry or require expensive re-drilling to greater depths.
The Chickahominy River headwaters could be impacted, affecting wetlands and the downriver municipal water supply (Hampton Roads).

And how do we stop it?
