This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
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 Saudi Arabia approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Saudi Arabia.
Dammam / Eastern Province holds 8 active projects with 370 MW of planned IT load between them, and center3 Dammam ranks 4th by planned capacity. Of those, 4 are operational, 2 are under construction, 1 is being commissioned and 1 is at the land and permitting stage. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Dammam / Eastern Province, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
stc has 1 other in Saudi Arabia tracked by ArusGrid, including center3 Riyadh (Khurais). Named funding comes from stc Group 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.
