How we checked this
Checked on September 16, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The two five-year options and the $16.1 billion potential total are stated in the article; the tenant's identity is a reported, unconfirmed detail.
Confirmed in the source:
- The tenant can exercise two five-year extensions beyond the base term
- Exercising both extensions would take potential sales to about $16.1 billion
- The base term is 20 years
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the tenant holding the extension options is Anthropic as a confirmed fact — the article says neither company has publicly confirmed the counterparty
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
