What the source record says
Third QTS campus in the New Albany International Business Park, on Babbitt Rd (Franklin County) — 3 buildings, ~1.1M sq ft on 78 acres, announced December 2023 alongside the Miller Rd (IV) site as part of QTS's ~$4.4B New Albany expansion (aggregate across III + IV; no reliable per-site investment split disclosed, so investmentUsd omitted). Franklin County auditor use-class is "data center" (an assessed data-center structure exists); construction status is not independently confirmed operational by press, so recorded conservatively as under_construction. Distinct from QTS New Albany I & II (Beech Rd SW). No site-specific IT-load MW disclosed. QTS Data Centers is owned by Blackstone (2021 take-private).
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.
