PNK Group Proposes Up to Four AI Data Centers at Allenwood, PA Campus — Same Site as ModCorr Modular-Prison-Cell Factory; Zoning Fight Begins

On April 2, 2026, PNK Group hosted a registered open house at the Warrior Run Area Fire Department Social Hall in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, presenting plans to convert up to four buildings at its Great Stream Commons campus into artificial intelligence data centers. The proposal was led by Anton Voronkin, PNK’s Chief Development Officer. The open house drew dozens of concerned residents and formally kicked off a zoning-amendment fight in Gregg Township, Union County, Pennsylvania.

Facility Specifications

• Target property: 198 Enterprise Blvd, Allenwood, PA (the first phase — 478,388 sqft existing building)
• Additional phases: Three new industrial buildings to be constructed
• Total footprint: Approximately 1.5 million square feet across four potential data centers
• Projected capacity: Up to 300 megawatts (one source reported 3,000 MW — appears to be a misprint; the 300 MW figure is cited by multiple outlets)
• Infrastructure: A 69-kilovolt electric substation to be constructed
• Employment: At least 60 permanent jobs projected
• Timeline: Retrofit of existing building planned for 2027; three new buildings within three years

The Dual-Use Campus Pattern

The Allenwood campus (Great Stream Commons, Gregg Township) is the clearest single-site illustration of the warehouse-fungibility-and-the-detention-hedge thesis:

The same developer (PNK Group, owned by Andrey Sharkov) simultaneously hosts modular-prison-cell manufacturing and proposes AI data centers on the same campus, within the same Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) tax incentive structure, adjacent to the Allenwood Federal Correctional Complex.

Counterparty / End-User

No committed data center tenant has been publicly named. One PNK team member stated “there is interest” in the retrofitted portion. The proposal is developer-initiated rather than tenant-driven as of April 2026.

The Zoning Battle

PNK’s curative amendment application would add “Data Center & Data Center Accessory Use” to Gregg Township’s Commercial Manufacturing Zone — where data centers are currently not permitted. Key milestones:

Gregg Township’s position: “If it’s a lawful use, we have to provide some place in the municipality for them to do this” — but the township is drafting protective provisions rather than accepting PNK’s proposed ordinance language.

Named township officials: Supervisor Michael Keiser; Solicitor Jenna Neidig; Special Counsel Richard Shoch.

Significance

The 198 Enterprise proposal is PNK’s operational proof-of-concept for the dual-use-real-estate model at its most explicit: the developer that sold a warehouse to DHS for a 10,000-bed detention center is simultaneously positioning the warehouse next door as an AI data center. The same physical structure type serves either end-use. The developer makes no bet on which buyer arrives — it maintains optionality until the higher-value transaction closes.

The Allenwood campus, sitting inside the Keystone Opportunity Zone adjacent to federal correctional infrastructure, is the highest-density concentration of the warehouse-fungibility thesis in the portfolio.
