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.
Riyadh holds 14 active projects with 1,216 MW of planned IT load between them, and AirTrunk and Humain Riyadh campus ranks second by planned capacity. Of those, 1 is operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 5 are under construction, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Riyadh, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
AirTrunk has 11 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including AirTrunk JHB2, AirTrunk HYD1 and AirTrunk JHB1. Named funding comes from Blackstone and CPP Investments on the equity side and Humain. 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 28 October 2025. The money on record is US$3bn as of October 2025, the announced investment.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Saudi Arabia, as of 19 November 2025, is recorded as “Case-by-case authorisation only”. ArusGrid holds 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 16 October 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.

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.
The figure covers the whole campus.
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.
