Not all data centers serve the same purpose. Some house infrastructure. Others are built to connect it. Carrier hotels create dense ecosystems of carriers and cloud providers in a single location. That density drives faster performance, more flexibility, and better network control. As workloads scale, how you connect matters just as much as where you deploy.

Progress does not always look flashy. Sometimes it looks like steel going up. Earth moving at scale. Infrastructure taking shape, one layer at a time. That is exactly what is happening at our Culpeper campus. IAD5 and IAD6 are moving forward with major structural progress now visible across the site. What started as groundwork is quickly becoming something much more tangible. This campus is being built to support the next generation of high-density workloads. → IAD5: 229,932 sq. ft. and 72MW of capacity → IAD6: 383,220 sq. ft. and 120MW of capacity Both facilities are designed for HPC and AI environments, with the ability to support increasing cabinet densities and evolving performance demands. Behind every beam placed and every yard of earth moved is a coordinated effort across teams, partners, and planning disciplines. Because infrastructure at this scale is not just built. It is engineered to perform from day one. The demand for AI and High-Performance Computing is accelerating. The infrastructure to support it is rising to meet it. What part of data center construction do you think is most critical at this stage of development?

Infrastructure demand is accelerating, and so is the need to deliver capacity faster. We have secured $2.0B in construction financing to support the first three data centers at our new Red Oak campus in South Dallas. DFW9, DFW10, and DFW11 are already fully leased. Together, they will deliver 600,000 square feet of space and 180MW of power. This financing helps accelerate delivery timelines by approximately 18 months, ensuring critical capacity reaches the market when it is needed most. It also aligns with our Green Financing Framework, supporting efficiency targets and long-term sustainability goals. Dallas continues to emerge as a key market for digital infrastructure and AI growth.

Electricity prices are rising across many regions. Data centers are often blamed. The reality is more complex. Utilities and regulators determine electricity rates. Demand is growing across multiple sectors, including electric vehicles, manufacturing, building electrification, and digital services. Data centers are certainly part of that growing demand, but they are not the sole factor driving energy consumption. They power the digital infrastructure behind the services businesses and communities rely on every day. Understanding the full picture helps move the infrastructure conversation forward.

Data centers in space are getting attention. The idea is compelling. Unlimited solar power and new ways to support AI demand. The reality is more complex. From heat dissipation to data transmission and launch costs, major challenges remain before orbital data centers become viable. In the meantime, the infrastructure powering AI continues to evolve here on Earth. As Raul Martynek shared, there are still many advancements needed before this becomes a reality.
