Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Behring Companies submitted a proposal to city staff (August 2026) to use ~20,000 sq ft of the ~83,000 sq ft four-story former Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory supercomputing building at 415 20th St. as an up-to-20 MW data center supporting a larger downtown AI campus; Councilmember Fife introduced a 45-day citywide data center moratorium in September 2026.
Underlying source
Source notes
Developer says the building previously housed an LBNL supercomputer and may not need new entitlements if the use conforms to prior operations; part of a larger Behring plan including a 39-story residential tower above the 19th Street BART station.
