Skanska Lands $94M Deal for Second Virginia Data Center Build
According to Construction Dig, Skanska has secured a $94 million contract from an existing client to build a second data center on an established Virginia campus. The 210,000-square-foot facility will include four data halls plus site work and underground utility infrastructure. Construction starts in October 2026, with completion targeted for May 2028. The deal will count toward Skanska’s US order bookings for the second quarter of 2026, part of a broader wave of data center construction driven by cloud computing and AI demand.
What It Means for Subcontractors
- Underground utility and site work packages are called out specifically, an early opportunity for excavation, grading and utility contractors before vertical construction begins.
- A 22-month build schedule signals steady, multi-phase subcontractor demand across electrical, mechanical and data hall fit-out trades.
- Repeat work from an existing client on a growing campus suggests more phases may follow, worth tracking for contractors looking to build a long-term relationship with Skanska.
