A micro AI or edge compute tenant may be able to design a dedicated area for racks, servers, GPU equipment, networking, cooling, security, backup systems, and fiber connectivity. Potential technology-related uses may include: Micro AI data center Edge data center GPU compute cluster AI inference servers Rendering farm Server hosting Private cloud infrastructure Research compute space Secure IT equipment room Backup server environment Technology lab or hardware testing area This type of use would depend on tenant-specific requirements, including available electrical capacity, utility upgrades, transformer capacity, fiber availability, cooling strategy, redundancy requirements, security needs, floor loading, noise, heat rejection, and code compliance. Ownership is open to discussing this concept with qualified operators, technology companies, AI infrastructure users, MSPs, IT firms, research groups, or businesses seeking affordable space for dedicated compute infrastructure. Important Feasibility Notes The property is being activated in phases. Not all areas are suitable for all uses immediately. Final occupancy, access, buildout, and permitted use will depend on the tenant’s intended use, required improvements, code requirements, insurance requirements, utility needs, and agreement with ownership.
