Development

Operating facility and documented expansionOperational

QTS Hillsboro 1 is the existing DC1 at 4951 NE Huffman Street. Current marketing uses a conservative 20 MW+ critical-power headline on a 25-acre campus, while a 2024 building sheet reports 24 MW and a 200 MW+ wider multi-building campus potential. Cartis keeps 20 MW as the public facility value and records the larger figures only as design context. Customer utilization, private contract terms and unreported project financing remain outside the verified public record.
