## Data quality

- The exact asset is strongly identified by VIRTBIZ’s official pages as DAL1 at 2805 Canton Street, Dallas.
- The site is a former facility, not an operating data center as of 2026-07-27.
- No MW, water-use, PUE/WUE, tenant, generator-count, equipment, or commercial-term claims are made because the reviewed evidence does not support them.
- The corpus contained no clearly qualifying independent local or trade-news article specifically about this facility; the included article record is the operator’s official historical page and is labeled accordingly.
- A Dallas Board of Adjustment record and a 2019 zoning reply form mention 2805 Canton as a neighboring/notified property, but neither establishes a hearing, petition, opposition, or litigation concerning the former VIRTBIZ facility itself.
- Power values retain their reported, requested, contracted, energized, gross-campus, or critical-IT basis.
