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

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.

Source notes

Located in the Cascade Valley neighborhood. Capacity (5.0 MW total / 4.41 MW usable) is press-sourced (Avison Young sale/lease listing via Data Center Dynamics/SDxCentral, Feb 2025), not disclosed on Cogent's own operator page. The facility was marketed for sale/lease as of Feb 2025 (asking $44.1M -- a real-estate listing price, not a capex investment figure) but was confirmed not part of Cogent's June 2026 10-facility sale to I Squared Capital; Cogent's own site continues to advertise active colocation service here.
