Proposed-site record

Project Harper

Peculiar's Harper Road Technology Center is a blocked Diode Ventures proposal. A city packet documents the project agreement and withdrawal contingency, while later zoning reporting documents the city change that removed data centers from the ordinance. Capacity, water, utility, and public-funding details remain unresolved.

Undisclosed / unknownUnknown

Data Center Dynamics reports that Peculiar removed data centers from its light-industrial ordinance, blocking Diode Ventures' proposed Harper Road Technology Park. City planning materials describe the concept as a 508-acre, seven-building campus. The reviewed sources do not identify a tenant, facility workload, hardware or training/inference split.

Diode Ventures is the project developer and the ordinance action establishes a blocked/paused development path, not a workload disclosure. The reported $1.5B value, 508-acre site and up to seven 300,000-square-foot buildings are project context, not workload capacity; retain customer, operator, hardware and allocation as unknown.
