The record, newest first

  1. As checked Nov. 6, 2026, Fortis Construction's undated project page gives 199,000 square feet in total, 24 MW in Phase 1, 100+ MW planned, and a 2026 ready-for-service year. (Fortis Construction, undated)

  2. On a KLCC discussion program, a guest said a startup had built a data center in Forest Grove between a subdivision and a middle school. The program did not name Crane or say whether the site had opened. (KLCC, Aug. 4, 2026)

  3. Construction Review Online reported that Fortis Construction had broken ground on a 24 MW first phase, with opening planned for 2026. (Construction Review Online, July 26, 2025)

  4. The city council unanimously denied a further appeal after a hearing where residents raised noise, traffic and wildlife concerns. (KOIN, Oct. 14, 2024; DatacenterDynamics, undated)

  5. After a neighboring property owner appealed staff's July 31 approval, the planning commission voted 4-2 to approve the application, per DCD. (DatacenterDynamics, undated)

Conflicts and open questions

  • DCD gives the street number as 2975 Heather St.; the map point is approximate.
  • Size differs: Fortis lists 199,000 sq ft in total, DCD lists two buildings of about 178,750 sq ft each, and the 2023 release lists about 300,000 sq ft for the first facility.
  • DCD's articles do not state a year for the July and Sept. 3 steps; 2024 is inferred from KOIN's dated Oct. 14, 2024 report on the later council hearing.

The full record

Status note
The contractor's undated page describes the campus as being built, ready for service in 2026. A KLCC program in August 2026 spoke of a startup's Forest Grove data center as built, without naming Crane; no source opened says it has opened.
Power note
Full build-out is given as more than 100 MW; first phase 24 MW. DCD's undated article gave 50 MW at full build-out with room to pass 100 MW.
