notes: >-
  Single-source record (Business Wire press release, 2026-04-29). Status
  "announced"; source says first phase breaks ground May 2026 — phase
  detail retained here until construction is separately confirmed.
  Developer "Beale Infrastructure" has no operators.yml entry — developer
  field omitted; Beale Infrastructure needs an operators.yml entry before
  it can be recorded as developer. investment_usd $3B is described as an
  estimate. building_sqft: source states "1 million+ sq ft"; recorded as a
  floor and it is unclear whether this is per-building or campus total —
  precision not resolvable from the single signal.
