A massive room with gray slab floors, pretty bare bones everything, where cages holding servers are eventually going to go.

I'm just doing a little math here.

So this is a 430,000 square foot building.

So give or take this is 100,000 square feet, this space?

Plus or minus?

Correct.

Now a big empty room.

How long until it's literally humming with activity?

So you can't do anything until you get electricity in here, right?

Power is already the issue.

One study from Carnegie Mellon in North Carolina State found that nationwide energy costs could rise 8% by 2030 because of data centers.

And in some parts of the country, like Virginia, which is the AI data center hub, that cost increase could be more than 25%.

Sure.

And also, what's the sales pitch?

Sorry.

This is kind of weedy, but how much is it going to cost me?

Is it like a per square foot thing?

Is it a per megawatt thing?

I have to say, though, after being at the CoreSight data center in L.A.

the other day, the one in the old post office building, all these rooms kind of look the same to me.
