The project was designated as a 'heavy industrial use' by the state’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control on February 3, which effectively rejected the proposal as such properties are prohibited from development in the Coastal Zone. Starwood Digital Ventures submitted an appeal on February 17, arguing that data centers are not heavy industrial properties and alleging procedural and legal errors. The project is multi-phase: the first phase would include six 500,000-square-foot (46,450 sqm), two-story buildings for a total of about 3 million square feet; the second phase would see two 500,000 sq ft, two-story buildings and three 700,000 sq ft (65,030 sqm), two-story buildings developed, totaling around 3.1 million sq ft (288,000 sqm).
