What changes the reading

  • The lettering runs on from the first certification rather than restarting, so the two rows read as one campus filed in two tranches. The state does not say that and the naming is the only evidence for it.[1]

Still not public

  • Capacity and square footage are not public for this certification.
  • Which buildings it covers is not stated.
  • Whether it is the same campus as the first Red Oak certification is inferred from the entity names and is not stated anywhere.

An estimated cost at filing is not a final cost, and a filing is not proof a building went up. How this register works.

The registry entry for this facility comes from the Texas Comptroller's certified list of data centers holding a sales tax exemption. Owner, occupant and operator are roles in that filing rather than descriptions of who runs the building.
