Applied Digital has completed build-out of a second building at its CoreWeave-leased data center campus in Ellendale, North Dakota.

The company has announced it has achieved ready for service for the second phase of Building 2 at its Polaris Forge 1 campus, delivering an additional 75MW of critical IT load across three 25MW data halls.

The 150MW Building 2 is now completed and brings the campus to 250MW. The fully leased site is set to deliver 400MW of IT capacity at full build-out.

Polaris Forge 1 began construction in September 2022 as part of the company’s crypto and HPC business, but all of its capacity will now be taken up by CoreWeave.

The first phase of Building 2 went live in July. The first phase of Building 1 was completed in December 2025.

“Bringing another 75MW of AI infrastructure online at Polaris Forge 1 further demonstrates our ability to turn large-scale power into operational AI infrastructure,” said Wes Cummins, CEO and chairman of Applied Digital. “Securing power is only the starting point. The real work is designing, building, commissioning, and operating the infrastructure that transforms those megawatts into usable capacity for customers. That is the capability we continue to scale across our platform.”

Founded in 2021 as Applied Blockchain, Applied Digital is pivoting to developing AI and HPC data centers, and has signed multiple large-scale deals with hyperscale customers.

Its contracted portfolio now spans five AI Factory campuses, totaling 1.4GW of critical IT load, and approximately 2.15GW of grid-connected utility power.

Polaris Forge 2 is located in Harwood, North Dakota. Much of that site is set to be leased to an unnamed “investment-grade hyperscaler.”

Polaris Forge 3 is set to offer 430MW and is leased to an unnamed hyperscaler, though full details haven’t been shared.

Applied’s 430MW Delta Forge 1 site is set to be located outside Alexandria, Louisiana. The site is pre-leased to a US-based “high investment-grade hyperscaler.”

Delta Forge 2 will be located near Brookwood, Alabama.

The Nasdaq-listed firm still operates two cryptomining sites in Jamestown and Ellendale, North Dakota, totaling some 286MW. It recently spun off its ChronoScale cloud unit.
