Where it stands

The Marble Campus at 155 Palmer Lane is a 65 MW data center converted from bitcoin mining to HPC/AI and leased to CoreWeave. About 37 MW was operational and billing in April 2026, the site was reported fully handed over to the customer in May 2026, and the July 2026 deck lists ~65 MW billing at Marble. The July billing figure comes from a flattened table in which values are matched to sites by order, so its site attribution is inferred rather than labelled directly.

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

Probable
Cherokee County, NC
35.1850, -83.9141
Approximate address 170 State Rd 1377, Marble, NC 28905, USA Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.
Conclusion so far The signals are weak or disagree -- not called yet. · confidence 30%
Undetermined -- the signals are weak or disagree: night-time lights at the site ran 1.62x the surrounding area (0 of 13 clear nights, 2026-06-24 to 2026-09-17); surface temperature +4.0 K against its surroundings (7 pass(es), 2026-07-02 to 2026-10-07). Based on 47 clear observation(s) from 2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19.
What would change this: A consistent signal across night lights, heat and optical change.

Satellite imagery on this page is drawn from the Google Earth satellite basemap, USDA NAIP aerial photography (~1 m/pixel), ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral (10 m, with per-date cloud masks), NASA / USGS Landsat 8/9 (30 m, plus surface temperature), ESA Sentinel-1 radar (all-weather, night), NASA ECOSTRESS thermal (~70 m), and NASA Black Marble night lights (500 m, daily). Each image is dated, labelled by source and pixel resolution, and downloadable at its native size; cloudy dates are kept and marked rather than hidden. New scenes are pulled daily as each provider publishes them.
