One of Herndon’s most high-profile properties — the former NFL training facility site tucked between Dulles and Reston — is now poised for a complete transformation. According to the Washington Business Journal, Starwood Capital Group has proposed replacing the long-vacant facility with two large data centers, expanding the evolution of Herndon’s Renaissance Tech Park and strengthening Fairfax County’s position inside the global data center ecosystem.
