What the later record shows

The date slipped · new target December 31, 2026

The September 2026 amendment moved first rent commencement to Q4 2026. Data halls will now be delivered through Q1 2027, so commencement did not occur in September 2026.

“Rent will commence for each data hall as it is delivered, with the first rent commencement expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2026.”
