Blackstone’s QTS Drops Appeal, Ending $100 Billion Virginia Data-Center Campus Near Manassas Battlefield

Blackstone Inc.’s QTS has withdrawn its last appeal over the Prince William Digital Gateway, ending a years-long fight over a planned 2,100-acre campus that opponents and trade reports had described as a roughly $100 billion, world-scale data-center complex beside Manassas National Battlefield Park. Brookfield-backed Compass Datacenters had already abandoned its slice of the project, and the county’s original rezoning is void.
