In its May 12, 2026 operator update, Start Campus forecast SIN02 coming online by the second half of 2027. This is a building-delivery forecast, separate from the late-2027 tenant GPU deployment target and not evidence that SIN02 is already operating. SIN01 is operational and currently marketed at 37.5 MW. SIN02 is the next planned 200 MW facility, with Nscale targeting 66,000+ Rubin GPUs from late 2027. SIN03-06 remain future envelopes within the 1.2 GW campus.
