This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.
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.
Gui'an holds 12 active projects with 90 MW of planned IT load between them, and Apple iCloud (Gui'an) Data Center has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 5 are operational, 4 are operational and expanding and 3 are under construction. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Gui'an, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
It is the only GCBD project ArusGrid tracks. Named funding comes from Apple. The named user of the compute is Apple (confirmed).
The dated record runs from under construction on 25 May 2018 to operational on 25 May 2021. The money on record is US$1bn as of January 2018, the announced investment.
