Hickory reports topping-out of MEL01C&D and installation of a link bridge connecting to the operating MEL01 facility. These are construction milestones, not confirmation that the entire 180 MW campus has been handed over or is operating. STACK MEL01 Melbourne Data Center Campus, also known as STACK MEL01, is a data center project in Melbourne, Victoria, AU developed and operated by STACK Infrastructure. Melbourne campus planned as two 36 MW buildings for 72 MW total critical capacity. High-density-ready campus design with robust regional power and network access. STACK now markets MEL01 as a four-building 180 MW full-build campus. The first 36 MW building is operating, but the 180 MW headline is explicitly a wider phased design boundary. The financing record is scoped to the named development phase and is not treated as a facility valuation.
