What the source record says
26MW, 96,129 SF, 20-acre campus at 22000 Franz Rd, Katy TX. Page explicitly describes it as home to some of the world's densest HPC compute environments serving oil & gas and cloud/HPC users, with DoubleDense cooling up to 1000W/SF immersion — real HPC evidence, so aiClassification=likely. AI/HPC (mixed_use): Skybox markets Houston as home to some of the world's densest HPC environments with DoubleDense immersion cooling up to 1000 W/PSF; its own news page confirms a named Skybox Houston I HPC immersion deployment (Shell Energy).
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
