Evoque Gallatin Campus (former Archer joint venture)

Gallatin, Tennessee data center campus on existing 82,000 sq ft shell with about 40 MW available; planned 100 MW-plus buildout needs utility and TVA upgrades.

Existing shell, buildout unconfirmed. An existing 82,000 sq ft shell with over 40 MW available anchored the 2022 joint venture; in June 2023 Evoque planned a first 12 MW fit-out. No record shows how much of the 100 MW-plus plan is built or in service.
