Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How United Arab Emirates approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in United Arab Emirates.

Where it sits

Dubai holds 6 active projects with 129 MW of planned IT load between them, and Khazna Dubai Production City ranks first by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 1 is under construction and 3 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Dubai, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.

Khazna has 6 others in the United Arab Emirates and 1 project elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Stargate UAE phase 1, Khazna QAJ1 and Khazna AUH6 (with AUH8 extension). Named funding comes from G42 on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 3 September 2025.

The US export control position for advanced AI chips in the United Arab Emirates, as of 14 July 2026, is recorded as “Country Group A:5 with Supplement No. 8 approved end users”. ArusGrid holds 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 3 September 2025, and last checked the record on 22 October 2026.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for United Arab Emirates, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
