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

  1. Proposed

    Metrobloks (Los Angeles-based) closed on 4.05 acres in Miami's Airport West submarket (seller: Sagard Real Estate; buyer broker: Cushman & Wakefield; seller broker: Transwestern) to build a 15.2 MW AI-ready data center; targeting operations by end of 2026.

    Underlying source

Source notes

500 NW 137th Avenue, Miami-Dade County (Airport West submarket, near Miami International Airport). Land acquisition closed March 31, 2025; targeting operations by end of 2026, but as of August 2026 no permit or construction-start source had been located, so the status is proposed rather than under construction. Capacity is disputed between the operator's own two pages: 15.2 MW at the press-release/land-acquisition stage (independently corroborated by Cushman & Wakefield) vs. 16.8 MW critical IT on the current site page, which separately claims ~40,500 sq ft of total whitespace across two 15,200 sq ft halls (an internal arithmetic inconsistency on the operator's own page). The better-corroborated 15.2 MW figure is recorded. The operator's site page states ~21ms round-trip latency to the NAP of the Americas and Uptime Tier III design intent with liquid cooling to 150kW/rack. As of August 2026, no confirmed total-building square footage or jobs figure had been located, so neither is recorded; Miami AI News (August 2026) cites a Miami Herald report of a 112,900-square-foot data center. The recorded $150 million investment is the figure Miami-Dade Beacon Council CEO Rodrick T. Miller gave in the operator's March 2025 press release; Miami AI News describes the same amount as the purchase price of the 4.05-acre site. As of August 2026, no opposition or permit coverage was found; Airport West is a commercial/industrial submarket. Coordinates are an approximate Airport West-area estimate, not a parcel-confirmed geocode of the street address.

22 MW of utility power secured from FPL per Miami AI News (2026-08-16); site is across from an FPL substation; 3,000 kW diesel standby generators.
