By · AI-assisted reporting and analysis

New research published October 8, 2026 · historical milestones dated in profile · Sources reviewed: 2026-10-08

Published 2026-10-08. Historical events retain their source dates; this publication does not imply a new project milestone.

Final construction, commissioning and inspections described by operator; occupancy and opening unverified. Operator design: 100,000 sq ft and more than 1,000 racks; local 120,000 sq ft report unresolved; operating IT MW unknown.

Investor implications · Our analysis

WKMG reports a $100 million project cost, not verified incurred spending or a closed financing package. HostDime markets colocation and private-cloud services, but no contract revenue, leased-rack count, occupancy, debt terms or project margin is disclosed in reviewed documents. Duke Energy is a company-reported planning counterparty; DUK earnings cannot be estimated from that relationship. Our analysis: the economic inflection requires occupied, billable service after inspections and commissioning.

What to watch next

Sources and verification

4 distinct accessible documents, including a project-specific government record and independent original reporting. Details and unresolved claims are preserved in the full profile and Florida source audit. Publication is new research, not a new project-status event.

  1. Town of Eatonville Council · 2026-09-01

    Official council agenda includes discussion of HostDime’s previous development-agreement amendments and consideration of amendment 3, with agreement attachments. This verifies the town’s project record; an agenda does not establish adoption of proposed fines, occupancy authorization or operation.

  2. HostDime · Publication date not established

    Operator describes SuperNova at 1 Innovative Pl as its seven-story 100,000-square-foot flagship, with more than 1,000-rack design capacity. It says final construction, commissioning and inspections continue, and describes Duke Energy coordination and closed-loop, air-cooled chilled-water cooling. These are company descriptions, not measured load, utility acceptance or independent Tier IV certification.

  3. WFTV / Dave Jordan · 2026-09-03

    Independent local reporting quotes the CEO’s possible October opening conditional on final inspections after repeated delays. It reports prior $250-per-day fines. Its 120,000-square-foot figure differs from the operator’s 100,000; scope reconciliation remains open. The article does not establish passed inspections.

  4. WKMG / ClickOrlando, Mark Lehman · 2026-09-01

    Reports the planned council consideration of $500-per-day penalties and additional site commitments, plus a reported $100 million project cost and municipal water/sewer reimbursements. URL says August 31, but visible publication/update date is September 1. Proposed accountability terms are not treated as adopted.
