Search documented colocation and cloud facilities by state — plus how AI-buildout land deals actually get done, often through shell LLCs and NDAs that keep a project's real owner off public records until it's already built.
The AI buildout is happening in specific towns and counties right now, often before residents realize what's being proposed — this exists for the people trying to catch up to that.
Search by state using a directory like Data Center Map, linked from this page — an independent commercial directory of colocation and cloud facilities. It doesn't include classified, government, or many hyperscaler-owned sites that don't publicly list.
Developers, especially for AI buildouts, routinely acquire land through shell LLCs before communities know what's being proposed. Delaware and Nevada both allow forming an LLC without disclosing its owners, and the federal beneficial-ownership disclosure requirement (Corporate Transparency Act) was rolled back in 2026.
No. Inventories are inherently incomplete since not every operator discloses locations, especially newer hyperscale and government-adjacent facilities.
Not directly — the linked directory lists facility locations and operators, not utility consumption. For power or water figures, check the operator's own sustainability disclosures or local utility permit filings, where available.
It's maintained by an independent third party, Data Center Map, on their own schedule — very recently announced projects may take time to appear.
Data Center Map covers facilities worldwide, though coverage varies by country. The state filter on this page is US-focused, but the underlying directory isn't limited to the US.
