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
- Under construction
Core Scientific leased the existing AUBix facility at 1571 W Samford Ave and is bringing it online in phases; first ~16MW targeted, full ~$400M build ongoing as of the Feb 2025 announcement.
Underlying source
Source notes
As of September 2026, the status is kept at under construction, though two sources found then point toward the site already serving customers: Core Scientific sells it as a current product, and the February 2026 $55M permit is framed as an expansion of an existing facility rather than a first build. Neither states outright that the data center is energized and serving load, and this is a pre-existing AUBix building that Core Scientific leased, so the boundary between the incumbent facility and Core Scientific's fit-out is unclear. Status was not promoted to operational on marketing tense alone.
