Project timeline
Source notes reproduced from Epoch AI. Future projections are excluded. Status may have changed since the latest observation.
Building 3 and 4 are operational.
Building 4 still has some equipment strewn around the perimeter, so we think it is still going through commissioning. Two new buildings at the campus have shells underway, but we don't know if Microsoft is the tenant for those.
Building 4 roof is complete and all mechanical equipment appears to be installed. However, there is still a lot of construction activity around the building.
Building 1 and 2 are operational. Building 1 looked operational sooner, but the buildings are paired in the Fairwater design. The roof of Building 4 is almost complete, while mechanical equipment is still being installed.
Land clearing begins for southern part (Building 1-2)
