What the source record says
41,000 sq ft building on 7.5 acres in McKees Rocks, Allegheny County, acquired by Ardent (Northern Data Group) in January 2024 with 5 MW in place and a phased path to 20 MW. Purpose-built for GPU/HPC workloads at 135 kW+ rack densities. Street address is reported by third-party directories as 615 McMichael Road but was not confirmed in the sources cited here, so it is omitted.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
