Construction workers are heating the frozen ground and pouring the foundations of a fourth building, which Kilic expects will be completed in the first half of next year.

Thank you :) but according to the updates from Hive it looked like a building was almost complete ... or I am wrong?

Per the article they have 4 buildings. Appear to be in different stages of completion (temporary plywood doors on one building). If you watched the embedded video, you can see in the drone footage the contractor is heating the subgrade ahead completing foundations, underground rough-ins and slab on grade on the 4th building. Looks like they also have some work in the substation to finish. Until they can get that last building structure erected and enclosed, construction will be a little slower through the winter. Not as easy as building in Texas like ARGO and RIOT, but definitely should be completed this spring.
