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 Khazna Dammam campus ranks first 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.
Khazna has 7 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Stargate UAE phase 1, Khazna Dubai Production City and Khazna QAJ1. 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 at the land and permitting stage on 10 December 2025.

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