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

Catawba County EDC reports Data Journey bought the former Bed Bath & Beyond enterprise data center and converted it into a colocation facility.
Underlying source
Source notes
The purchase price was $4M; the company puts its total outlay at nearly $7M including bankruptcy-related costs. That is an acquisition cost, not a build investment, so no investment figure is recorded. Baxtel lists 47,500 sq ft total, about 9,515 sq ft of raised floor, a 1.0 MW build-out expandable to about 3.5 MW, and a 2013 build year. Baxtel notes that a JLL sell sheet gives 3436 Penny Road instead of 2436. Coordinates are an approximate town-level placement.
