Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 21, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Metrobloks MIA-A1 (MB01) in Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Power and water

22 MW of utility power secured from FPL per Miami AI News (2026-08-16); site is across from an FPL substation; 3,000 kW diesel standby generators.

Notes on the record

500 NW 137th Avenue, Miami-Dade County (Airport West submarket, near Miami International Airport). Land acquisition closed March 31, 2025; targeting operations by end of 2026, but as of August 2026 no permit or construction-start source had been located, so the status is proposed rather than under construction. Capacity is disputed between the operator's own two pages: 15.2 MW at the press-release/land-acquisition stage (independently corroborated by Cushman & Wakefield) vs. 16.8 MW critical IT on the current site page, which separately claims ~40,500 sq ft of total whitespace across two 15,200 sq ft halls (an internal arithmetic inconsistency on the operator's own page). The better-corroborated 15.2 MW figure is recorded. The operator's site page states ~21ms round-trip latency to the NAP of the Americas and Uptime Tier III design intent with liquid cooling to 150kW/rack. As of August 2026, no confirmed total-building square footage or jobs figure had been located, so neither is recorded; Miami AI News (August 2026) cites a Miami Herald report of a 112,900-square-foot data center. The recorded $150 million investment is the figure Miami-Dade Beacon Council CEO Rodrick T. Miller gave in the operator's March 2025 press release; Miami AI News describes the same amount as the purchase price of the 4.05-acre site. As of August 2026, no opposition or permit coverage was found; Airport West is a commercial/industrial submarket. Coordinates are an approximate Airport West-area estimate, not a parcel-confirmed geocode of the street address.

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.

Cooling method and water use
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
Permanent jobs promised
How the community has received it

Which document closes each gap

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.
How the community has received it: Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

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.
