Absolutely So powerhouse data centers is a joint venture with harrison street One billion dollar fund to spend for data center development and construction you know data or harrison street is a Primarily involved in investing in alternate assets.

Yeah, absolutely You know, we're really excited about we've got what we call abx one Bomi data center. That's just going vertical in the next couple weeks. So we're delivering that october of this year We've got our our cola data center. That's master plan for Two buildings over 600,000 square feet 120 megawatts of development there and then we also have what is the old AOL world headquarters in ashburn. That's master planned You know, we're starting demo this year That'll be a three building 265 megawatt campus right in the heart of data center alley in ashburn In northern virginia, of course. That's it. Yeah. Yeah the the heart of data centers data center alley With all those megawatts, I believe you'd be attracting the hyperscale community. Why don't you tell us why? Powerhouse is the best for hyperscalers. Yeah, so, you know, the one thing that we offer is we really do the heavy lifting In the early ends of the project. So, you know, we do all the site selection. We get the key real estate access We do the zoning we do the entitlements. We get the power to the site was there's obviously a big topic as of lately We do all the site developments. We do the buildings and so we can allow these hyperscalers to deploy their compute capacity Very quickly With us able to take a lot of the the management the risk and the timeline associated with these early project developments right Well, you're here all the way across the world almost right from the northern corridor where powerhouse is headquartered and where the data centers are Being developed. So why should the ptc community and folks out here all the way in the pacific region? Have powerhouse on the radar. So it's it's really two aspects You know, the first is that while we started we really focused on northern virginia We're very rapidly moving out of that area. So We wanted to start the powerhouse brand with some key strategic assets And those being in ashburn You know to really establish that we could we can operate in probably the world's toughest data center market So as we move out of that, obviously, it's important to understand that powerhouse is a very small aspect of a huge ecosystem So as Hyperscale or as the operators are deploying their compute capacity It really goes into a global plan for how they're Deploying that infrastructure and it's important for us to understand and talk to others in the industry, you know, how that's being done Absolutely.
