Building 8 projected operational. [TDLR project TABS2026028247](https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Projects/TABS2026028247) schedules Building A's data-hall fit-out for completion by this date.

Building 4 operational at full capacity. This corresponds to "Phase III", which is [expected](https://investor.galaxy.com/news/news-details/2025/Galaxy-Announces-Third-Quarter-2025-Financial-Results/default.aspx) to be delivered "starting in 2028". We assume it takes until the end of 2028 to reach full capacity.

Evidence note

6 buildings are operational. This is based on: 1. A [regulatory filing](https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2026010861) for Building 6 with a completion date of 2027-07-30. Normally there is a follow-up filing for "tenant improvement" which involves building the interior, with a completion date 1-3 months after the initial filing. 2. A project deadline of EOY 2027 in the [original tax abatement agreement](https://www.co.armstrong.tx.us/upload/page/5361/Phase%201%20Tax%20Abatement%20Agreement%20-%20Signed.pdf) 3. The similar 8-building project in Abilene taking an estimated 2 years and 2 months.

Evidence note

Buildings 5-8 are estimated to be operational. On March 24, Building 8 roughly looked like where Building 3 was in September. Building 3 is estimated to be operational in April, 7 months later. This naively suggests Building 8 will be operational by early November, 7 months after March 24.
