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.

Source notes

Carrier-neutral colocation facility branded 'The Fort,' originally built out by SH Data Technologies at the former Fort Hill building (901 E Summit Hill Ave, per secondary sources not independently consulted as of September 2026) after a 2014 purchase, then relocated/rebranded as TenHats at '550 Fort Summit Way, near Knoxville's Old City' (Teknovation.biz, 2022-02-01 -- confirmed again on tenhats.com's own site, which lists '550 Fort Summit Way, Knoxville, TN 37915'). Coordinate caveat: neither the US Census geocoder nor OSM Nominatim could resolve '550 Fort Summit Way' (zero matches, tried with and without zip, plus a structured query) -- the street appears to postdate both services' address indexes. This pin is the OSM 'Old City' quarter centroid (a landmark disclosed in the sources as the facility's location), not the parcel; the pin is approximate for that reason despite a street address being on file. A city-wide one-year moratorium on new data-center permits (Knoxville City Council, reported by WATE) postdates this facility's 2014 origin and does not apply retroactively to it; it is not reflected in the community status because no source found as of September 2026 ties it specifically to this site. Capacity/MW was not found in any source checked as of September 2026 -- a third-party aggregator (baxtel.com) surfaced but is unconfirmed and omitted.
