SOURCE RECORD

COPT Van Meter Campus: source record

planned

Possible overlap with the Microsoft Van Meter campus (TEMP-7): both involve Van Meter, Dallas County land rezoned for data centers in the same period, but the fetched sources describe different buyers (Microsoft Corporation vs COPT Defense Properties/IA 340 Trail LLC), different acreages (377 vs 300+) and different purchase prices ($40M vs $24.6M). Kept as separate records per no-merge rule. 1 GW figure comes from aggregators only.
