There's a Rosslyn apartment complex where a $200K Potomac-view condo is somehow a deal of a lifetime, but only until 2052. Then the land, and every brick on it, vanishes from its owners' hands.

Interesting note on how we got here:

Back in 2016, all 40 members of the Virginia Senate and 97 members of the House voted to extend data center tax breaks to 2035. Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe tried to amend the bill to change it to 2028, but the GA rejected his proposal.

Speaker Scott pointed out today during the presser that he was not in the General Assembly at that time.

"They all voted for it. I wasn't here," he said.

Still, it bears a resemblance to another tall, opened-up civic eyesore the company owns in Charlottesville, Va.—a stalled hotel in Dewberry’s home state that’s frustrated residents for years.

“It’s unconscionable that a multi-millionaire developer like Dewberry feels emboldened [to] abandon a construction project like this in the heart of Midtown,” says councilmember @KelseaBondATL, “without a care for how it impacts our communities.”

Today from me: Opposition to data centers is cropping up all over the country. According to a new Data Center Watch report, $156 billion in projects were blocked or delayed in 2025. Is it enough to shake Wall Street's confidence in the A.I. buildout?
