Applied Digital (Nasdaq: APLD) designs, builds, and operates large-scale data center campuses in North America, leasing critical IT load and colocation-style hosting capacity to hyperscale AI, HPC, and blockchain customers rather than running its own compute business at most sites. As of 2026 its confirmed physical footprint centers on North Dakota, where it operates the Polaris Forge 1 campus in Ellendale (leased to CoreWeave) and a Jamestown hosting facility, is building the 280MW Polaris Forge 2 campus near Harwood (leased to Oracle), and is developing the $3.6 billion, 430MW Delta Forge 1 AI Factory campus in Rapides Parish, Louisiana. The company previously operated a 200MW campus in Garden City, Texas, which it sold to Marathon Digital Holdings in 2024 to focus resources on its North Dakota AI infrastructure. Applied Digital, founded in 2021 as Applied Blockchain and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, markets a proprietary waterless/closed-loop cooling approach and describes its own campuses as ‘AI Factories’ purpose-built for GPU-dense training and inference workloads, while a separate AI Cloud business (originally branded Sai Computing) is being spun out into a new entity called ChronoScale.
Applied Digital operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
