What the source record says
Two-story, 450,000 sq ft, 72 MW building — the second of four planned on Aligned's 75-acre, roughly 264 MW campus inside Quantum Frederick. About 345 skilled workers were on site at topping out with more than 80,000 craft hours logged.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
