What the source record says
Located in the Cascade Valley neighborhood. Capacity (5.0 MW total / 4.41 MW usable) is press-sourced (Avison Young sale/lease listing via Data Center Dynamics/SDxCentral, Feb 2025), not disclosed on Cogent's own operator page. The facility was marketed for sale/lease as of Feb 2025 (asking $44.1M -- a real-estate listing price, not a capex investment figure) but was confirmed NOT part of Cogent's June 2026 10-facility sale to I Squared Capital; Cogent's own site continues to advertise active colocation service here.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

Update this profile with a public source. The request includes topics needing more information; this does not mean the facility lacks them. Corrections and additions are reviewed before publication.
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.
