Your call. Will it be built?
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.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. On record: named funder, committed or approved capital, three or more sources, dated source in the last 24 months. Criteria.

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.

Why we think so. Kent's project page BHDC01 names Center3 as client in Bahrain with a March 2024 to February 2026 programme. This matches the timing of the Al Qurain park build (under construction Nov 2024, 65% complete Nov 2025). The page does not name the park itself.
