About this count
This page counts the major projects the Census has researched and sourced: 11 as of Nov 6, 2026. It does not yet include every smaller colocation or enterprise facility, so the total number of buildings in New York is higher. We add projects as they are announced or found in public filings.

New York data centers: common questions
How many data centers are in New York?
The Census tracks 11 major data center projects in New York as of Nov 6, 2026: 2 rumored, 8 proposed, 1 operating. This counts large projects the Census has researched and sourced, not every smaller colocation or enterprise facility, so the total number of data center buildings in New York is higher.
What is the largest data center project in New York?
By published planned capacity, the largest tracked project in New York is Lake Mariner in Somerset, Niagara County, NY, at 750 MW. Its status is operating.
Are data centers being built in New York right now?
No tracked project in New York is currently recorded as under construction. 8 are proposed or approved.
How many jobs will data centers create in New York?
3 tracked projects in New York have a published permanent-jobs figure, adding up to 475 permanent jobs as announced. Announced jobs are promises, not guarantees; construction employment is typically much larger but temporary.
How many AI data centers are in New York?
The Census counts 5 tracked projects in New York as AI data centers, because their own sources describe them as built for AI: Lake Mariner (operating), Remington Site Data Center (proposed), Lake Hawkeye (proposed), WF Industrial Yaphank Data Center (proposed), Riverview Innovation & Technology Campus (proposed). That is a floor; other campuses may run AI workloads without their sources saying so.
