Breaking Ground in Cheyenne: Innovation at Every Layer

In Cheyenne this week, we broke ground on a large-scale data center campus being developed by our client, Related Digital. The site spans 115 acres. The first phase includes a 184,000-square-foot building with 88 megawatts of capacity, already leased by CoreWeave, with plans to scale that to over 300 megawatts. These numbers are big, and they're part of an even bigger shift. Data infrastructure is accelerating, and Cheyenne is becoming a key stop on that digital map.
