Notes
Three long-term leases give CoreWeave 400 MW of critical IT: 100 MW building scheduled for service Q4 2025, 150 MW building expected mid-2026, a third 150 MW building planned for 2027. Campus designed to scale to 1 GW (Applied Digital, Aug 29 2025). Status typed construction because the later buildings are still being built; whether the first building is live was not verified.
