On Monday, Oct. 27, 2025, Applied Digital announced that the first 50‑MW phase of its 100‑MW building at Polaris Forge 1 in Ellendale, North Dakota, was ready for service. This milestone marks the first operational delivery under the company’s 400‑MW CoreWeave lease and demonstrates Applied Digital’s rapid construction capability.
The 50‑MW phase represents the initial segment of the 100‑MW building, which is part of a 400‑MW critical IT load deployment for CoreWeave under a 15‑year lease that is expected to generate approximately $11 billion in lease revenue. The RFS milestone confirms that Applied Digital’s proprietary liquid‑cooling and power‑distribution design is functioning as intended.
With the first phase online, the company plans to bring the remaining 50 MW of the building into service before the end of the year, and to continue expanding Polaris Forge 1 toward its 1‑GW target. The achievement underscores Applied Digital’s ability to deliver AI‑optimized infrastructure at record speed, reinforcing its position as a leading provider for hyperscalers.
