Every milestone

1 Oct 2023 — First signs of site preparation show up on satellite imagery.
8 Sep 2025 — Site preparation continues. Outline of a first building that is not the data center of interest Buildings 1 or 2 is visible.
2 May 2026 — Building 1 roof finished. Satellite imagery shows construction vehicles and concrete pads with no air cooled chiller units indicating Buildings 1 and 2 cooling install continues. On the other side of each building, emergency generator install continues as well.
31 Dec 2026 · projected 274 MW We estimate Buildings 1 and 2 will be fully operational by the end of 2026 because there are at least seven months since cooling and emergency generators have started to be installed. This estimate is also in line with similar QTS data center campus construction timelines.
1 Jul 2027 · projected 411 MW We estimate Building 3 will be fully operational by H2 2027 following a similar time line to Buildings 1 and 2 of 14 months from land clearing to operational.
