No permit record shows it yet, so this page prints it as announced. Compute Atlas (Jul 6, 2026) and Server Country (Sep 24, 2026) report it as under construction. ### Who is building CoreWeave NEST Campus? CoreWeave is the operator; the tenants reported are CoreWeave. No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does. ### When is CoreWeave NEST Campus expected to finish? Server Country reports expected completion in 2027. That is a reported target, not a schedule. ### Which carriers serve CoreWeave NEST Campus? No public record names them yet. They show here when a filing does. ### How do contractors on CoreWeave NEST Campus get paid sooner? The owner pays the general contractor, and the general contractor pays its subcontractors. Once your customer approves your invoice, certify it with Kapwork. Funders compete to fund it, so you don't wait for the payment date. Free for businesses. Kapwork doesn't lend and doesn't contact your customer. ## Latest updates - [Expected completion reported](https://servercountry.org/data/projects/).
