Signal notes
PowerHouse (AREP) / Chirisa JV on the demolished Cartograf site; developer set to powerhouse and operator to chirisa to represent the JV. Distinct from the Chirisa CTP-01/02/03 campus (104 acres / former Cartograf vs 350 acres / ex-Capital One) — kept as separate records. Scope conflict: announced as five AI-ready facilities / 600,000+ sqft (PR Newswire); Jan 2026 WTVR filing covers two buildings / 380,000 sqft at 1600 Digital Drive, likely the first phase. building_sqft carries the announced 600,000+ floor and buildings the announced five; first-phase filing is two buildings / 380,000 sqft. Timeline slipped: PR release said first delivery 2026 / completion 2028; Jan 2026 filing says first building operational 2027 (used here, newer). Completion 2028 per PR. capacity_mw 300 is from the Meadowville substation; developers cite a broader 1GW+ park goal.
