With the possibility of landing the FBI headquarters off the table, Lerner Enterprises is moving forward with plans for a big data center campus on its former Landover Mall site.
Brightseat Associates LLC, a Lerner affiliate, filed an early-stage application Wednesday for what’s called a preliminary plan of subdivision with Prince George’s County’s land use regulatory agency. The plan calls for more than 4.1 million square feet of new industrial development, dubbed the Brightseat Tech Park, on the 87-acre site.
Details available through the county’s Development Activity Monitoring System are extremely limited, with no specifics yet forthcoming.
Lerner couldn’t be reached immediately for comment. But in August we reported on an earlier filing by the same applicant for the same property for a “qualified data center” there, and documents furnished to me by suburban Maryland’s planning agency for the present application confirm that’s still the intended use.
