Quantum Loophole sells 150 acres on Adamstown data center campus
Quantum Loophole has sold 150 acres of land on its 2,100-acre data center campus in Adamstown to an undisclosed tenant, the company announced in a press release on Wednesday.
“We are excited to welcome a new customer to the Quantum Ecoscale campus,” Quantum Loophole Founder and CEO Josh Snowhorn said in the press release. “We look forward to ongoing collaborations with our customers to bring above and beyond value to residents of Frederick and the entire state of Maryland.”
In an interview on Wednesday, Quantum Loophole spokesperson Ilissa Miller said she could not name the tenant under the terms of the sales contract.
The unnamed tenant is the second to enter an official land acquisition agreement with Quantum Loophole.
The first, Aligned Data Centers, purchased 75 acres on the Adamstown campus in May 2022.
That project was put on hold after a state agency denied the company’s request for an exemption related to the number of backup generators it could install.
A second company, the Colorado-based Rowan Digital Infrastructure, received conditional approval from the Frederick County Planning Commission in January of this year to build its 777,000-square-foot Bauxite Data Center on a 151.17-acre site on the Quantum Loophole campus.
In a phone interview on Thursday, Rowan spokesperson Nathaniel Brown said he could not confirm whether Rowan was involved in the land sale announced by Quantum Loophole on Wednesday.
According to Brown, Rowan intends to unveil plans to build a second and third data center on the Quantum Loophole campus at an open house at Camp Shoresh, 2428 Pleasant View Road, Adamstown, next week.
That event, which is open to the public, will be held on May 22 from 4 to 7 p.m.
