Conflicts and open questions
- The Meadowville building was built for Capital One in 2013; DCD gives 350 acres for the original campus, and the Digital Drive site is reported at about 100-104 acres.
- The 2024 plan with PowerHouse (five buildings, 600,000+ sq ft) was later reported as a two-building project with American Real Estate Partners and Blue Owl.
- Distinct from Google's Project Peanut site next to the park (google-chesterfield-peanut).
