Location

501 Bear Christiana Road, Bear, DE 19701
County: New Castle County
exact — Exact permit facility address. Bear is retained as the permit postal place; a DNREC public notice also calls it a Newark facility, so no incorporated-municipality claim is made.

Physical scale

Physical scale: Unknown. The opened records do not establish data-center building count, floor area, parcel, acreage, campus boundary, or IT scale. Twelve permitted emergency generators are equipment, not a building count or data-center capacity figure.

What the sources support

DNREC's December 2021 review memorandum calls JP Morgan Chase CDC 1 a Tier 4 data center and states that existing Permit APC-2003/0285-OPERATION (Amendment 4) allowed the facility to operate 12 existing emergency generators. DNREC's May 2026 annual program report still lists JP Morgan Chase - Bear Christiana Road among the facilities billed for calendar year 2025. This establishes a permit-defined existing operating facility and continuing regulatory identity; it does not establish current IT load, occupancy, uptime, every-building operation, or issuance of the opened Amendment 5 draft.
