Chindata Huanshoudu Huailai Headquarters Base (秦淮数据环首都·怀来总部基地) is a data center project in Zhangjiakou, China, operated by Chindata Group (秦淮数据集团). It is operational and expanding. It is planned for 200 MW of IT load.
Latest change on record: moved to expanding on 9 April 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.
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.
Huailai holds 8 active projects with 1,294 MW of planned IT load between them, and Chindata Huanshoudu Huailai Headquarters Base (秦淮数据环首都·怀来总部基地) ranks third by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational, 5 are operational and expanding and 1 is under construction. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Huailai, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Chindata has 4 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Chindata Shaoguan Computing Cluster (秦淮数据韶关算力集群项目), Chindata Qingyang Zero-Carbon Data Centre Industrial Base (秦淮数据零碳数据中心产业基地) and Chindata Jining Intelligent Computing Centre, Ulanqab (秦淮数据集宁智算中心). It sits on the Chindata Huailai bases, Huailai County campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The dated record runs from operational on 1 January 2021 to operational and expanding on 9 April 2026. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in China, as of 7 October 2026, is recorded as “Licence required, presumption of denial, case-by-case review for H200-class chips since 15 January 2026”. ArusGrid holds 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 13 September 2026, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
Running capacity. The site is operational or expanding. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
The Paper (Sep 2026) says Chindata's Huailai bases serve major clients' storage and AI computing business.
A party to this project (its operator, that operator's group, a funder, or a confirmed client) is headquartered in China or Macau or has an ultimate parent there. US rules require a licence for advanced AI chips destined to such entities wherever they are located. This describes the rule and says nothing about whether a licence was sought, granted or refused. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.
No published price band exists for China, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
