Status: Active / Shell Construction & Infrastructure Upgrades Phase (Tracking June 2026) | Location: Silverpark Dr, Charlotte, NC 28269, United States
The AIB Data Centers CLT-01 Expansion is a strategic high-density digital infrastructure upgrade transforming a prominent computing asset in Charlotte, North Carolina. Formally accelerated following a comprehensive corporate rebranding from Blockchain Digital Infrastructure to AIB Data Centers Inc. on June 25, 2026, the project is backed by a fresh $55 million public capital raise on the NYSE American. The deployment represents a major structural pivot designed to capture surging enterprise demand for accelerated computing platforms. Advancing systematically through specialized data center shell engineering and mechanical fit-outs in mid-2026, the project capitalizes on a newly signed 15-year Electric Service Agreement (ESA). This long-term contract expands the campus's operational utility load directly from 40 MW up to 65 MW. By utilizing preexisting on-site 34.5 kV electrical transmission lines, the expansion bypasses the lengthy 4-to-5-year regional substation construction delays currently freezing greenfield tech projects across North America. The upgraded facility is being meticulously tailored to support immediate Letters of Intent (LOIs) totaling 25 MW of committed critical IT load for prominent financial institutions and neocloud operators.
