Newmark Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NMRK) (“Newmark” or “the Company”), a leading commercial real estate advisor and service provider to large institutional investors, announces that the Company advised Blue Owl Capital, Chirisa Technology Parks and Machine Investment Group in a $4 billion joint venture supporting development of a state-of-the-art AI data center campus in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
A Newmark team including Andrew Warin, Josh King, Adam Doneger and Brent Mayo represented the joint venture, with oversight from Jordan Roeschlaub and Doug Harmon.
The funding supports a long-term lease with a leading cloud computing company for its expanding national network of high-density GPU infrastructure, positioning the Lancaster development as a key Mid-Atlantic hub for AI workloads. The transaction extends Blue Owl’s development partnership with Chirisa Technology Parks to a total of $20 billion, encompassing more than one gigawatt of capacity across Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The Lancaster facility is one of several strategic hyperscale developments backed by institutional capital across key economic corridors. The campus will include repurposed industrial facilities and newly constructed high-density data centers designed for AI-intensive applications. The transaction represents a continuation of Newmark’s advisory role in major digital infrastructure initiatives across North America.
