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 Ezditek RUH01 ranks 10th 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.
It is the only Ezditek project ArusGrid tracks. The named user of the compute is Gcore (reported, unconfirmed).
The stage was recorded as under construction on 1 November 2024.
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 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 21 November 2024, 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.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
The operator markets to hyperscalers and cloud providers but names no AI tenant, workload or cooling specification.
Nothing found in the public record. This describes the record, not the company, and it is not evidence that access was sought or denied. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

Gcore-Ezditek JV AI factory, 'tens of thousands of GPUs' planned · as of 2024-11-19
Ezditek's own release says the JV 'AI factory will be deployed in an Ezditek data center and be home to tens of thousands of GPUs'. RUH01 at Princess Nourah University is Ezditek's only data center (ground broken the same day), so the location fits exactly one project. Held at reported because the tie to RUH01 is ours and no GPU count or go-live has been published since.
