About WhiteFiber Madison AI Data Center Campus

WhiteFiber Madison AI Data Center Campus / NC-1 is WhiteFiber’s flagship North Carolina data center campus in Madison, built for AI, HPC, high-density colocation, and hybrid infrastructure workloads. The campus occupies the former Unifi industrial property at 805 Island Drive in Rockingham County and gives WhiteFiber a large U.S. retrofit platform in the Piedmont Triad region. NC-1 is designed for high-density AI deployments, enterprise colocation, private AI environments, and production infrastructure that benefits from proximity to North Carolina’s enterprise, research, cloud, and logistics corridors. WhiteFiber’s current NC-1 materials identify 24 MW of operational power, 99 MW of secured power, and a long-term pathway to up to 200 MW as additional utility milestones are completed.

The campus includes 970,000 square feet of existing industrial space on 96 acres and is being retrofitted to Tier 3 standards for modern colocation and AI infrastructure. NC-1’s conversion model uses the site’s existing scale, electrical profile, and industrial infrastructure to accelerate delivery compared with a ground-up data center build. WhiteFiber has positioned the first stage around a Q4 2025 / December 2025 launch target and has secured a 10-year colocation agreement for the first 40 MW of critical IT load, delivered in two 20 MW phases. The campus supports large-scale AI customer deployments, high-performance compute clusters, private and hybrid deployments, and scalable enterprise infrastructure across Madison, Rockingham County, the Piedmont Triad, Winston-Salem, Raleigh-Durham, and Charlotte.

NC-1 benefits from a strategic North Carolina location within roughly 100 miles of Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Winston-Salem. The site is tied to Duke Energy power planning and has been presented as a major regional AI infrastructure investment with local, county, and state-level economic development support. The campus adds a U.S. flagship to WhiteFiber’s broader AI and data center platform, complementing the company’s Enovum facilities in Quebec while giving customers a large-scale Southeast U.S. deployment option. Madison, Rockingham County, Duke Energy, Piedmont Triad International Airport, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, WhiteFiber, Bit Digital, and NC-1 establish the campus’s location identity and regional relevance.
