The record, newest first

  1. The Pikes Peak Bulletin reported that two versions of the plans had been filed, that the city had asked for a sound study, and that the light-industrial zoning makes the project eligible for administrative review without public hearings. (Pikes Peak Bulletin, Aug. 17, 2026)

  2. The Gazette tied the Broadstone announcement to the Janitell Road site and reported that the project statement classes the use as research and development or industrial testing. (The Gazette, Aug. 10, 2026)

  3. On its earnings call Broadstone put the powered shell at 100 MW with completion expected by March 2027, and its CEO said that to others the facility will look and feel like a data center. (Earnings Whispers, July 30, 2026)

  4. Broadstone Net Lease announced a joint venture to build an advanced technology facility in Colorado for a Fortune 20 tenant under a 15-year lease, at an estimated $303 million; the release did not name the city. (Broadstone Net Lease, July 8, 2026)

  5. A project statement went to the city describing pre-production GPU testing with closed-loop cooling, generator yards and up to 60 employees. (Pikes Peak Bulletin, Aug. 17, 2026)

  6. The city gave the project, which it calls Project Primestone, a rapid response certificate that qualifies it for expedited plan review. (The Gazette, Aug. 10, 2026)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Included because of its stated scale and its owner's description. The project statement describes a GPU test laboratory and says it is not a data center and serves no outside customer.
  • The city filings themselves were not opened; the project statement, certificate and plans are known here only through the Gazette and the Pikes Peak Bulletin.
  • Building size differs: the Gazette quotes Broadstone's release at about 112,000 sq ft, while the project statement describes two buildings of about 110,000 sq ft each. The figure entered is the two-building total, whereas mw covers only the first building.
  • The 200 MW total in the Pikes Peak Bulletin combines the committed building with the optional second one.
  • Ownership differs by record: city documents list ERCOR Janitell Road as owner, while the Gazette found other names in county assessor records.
  • County: the Census geocoder places the address in El Paso County.

The full record

Status note
Under city development review as of mid-August 2026; the developer describes a GPU test laboratory rather than a data center.
Power note
Capacity of the first powered-shell building, as Broadstone described it on the company's July 30, 2026 earnings call. The project statement calls the site a GPU test laboratory, not a data center. Land for a second 100 MW building is held as an option, with a tenant right of first refusal, and is not counted here.
