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 Humain Riyadh campus ranks third 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.
Humain has 4 others in Saudi Arabia tracked by ArusGrid, including Humain Dammam campus, Humain / xAI Riyadh campus and Humain and center3 Riyadh AI data centre. Named funding comes from Public Investment Fund on the equity side. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The stage was recorded as under construction on 26 August 2025. Power comes from National Grid SA (Saudi Electricity Company) through grid supply.
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 9 public sources for this project, the latest dated 16 October 2026, and last checked the record on 22 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.
