Notes on the record
5-acre parcel (of the historic 99-acre Hungerford tract) fronting I-4 at Wymore Rd -- governing municipality is Eatonville, not Maitland; HostDime's own current marketing copy lists a mailing address of "1 Innovative Pl, Maitland, FL 32751" while an aggregator (baxtel) lists "1000 Wymore Rd, Eatonville, FL" for the same building -- both addresses are disputed/unverifiable via parcel search, so no street field is recorded. 100,000 sq ft, 7-story building, 3 data-center floors, >1,000 racks. Groundbreaking May 2021; HostDime's own landing page and data-sheet page disagree on completion quarter (Q3 2026 vs Q2 2026) and the project has slipped repeatedly since an original ~2024 target; as of ClickOrlando's June 2026 report the facility was still not open. Investment is conflicting and stale: GrowthSpotter (Oct 2023) reported an original $35M budget grown to $58M actual (65.7% overrun); a separately-circulating $100M figure is single-sourced and unreconciled, so no investmentUsd is recorded. No disclosed capacityMw. Distinct from HostDime's unrelated, already-operational 25,000 sq ft Tier III facility at 440 W Kennedy Blvd, Orlando. Eatonville Town Council (led by Councilwoman Wanda Randolph) has pushed a transparency measure over electricity/water use, noise, and appearance, and has assessed missed-deadline fines ($250-500/day); this intersects Florida SB 484 (effective July 1, 2026), which expands local authority over large-load customers and data-center water permits. Re-checked 2026-09-10: still under_construction. HostDime has requested multiple deadline extensions from the town of Eatonville (this is the third); September 2026 reporting says the facility could open as early as October 2026 pending final inspection.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Power capacity in megawatts
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
- Power capacity in megawatts
- The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- Which utility serves it
- The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
