Who is actually building this?
Start with the land, because the land is public. Every parcel that became the campus changed hands through a recorded deed — and recorded deeds name names. Read one, and then ask the question it can’t answer: who is the buyer, really?

- note
- Deed executed July 11, 2025 (originally typed as June, corrected by hand to July). Prior instrument references: 2025-8298 and 2025-8299, Recorder's Office, Allen County, Ohio. Grantee mailing address: 2801 Centerville Road, 1st Floor, PMB 811, Wilmington, Delaware 19808. Instrument prepared by Jill S. Tangeman, Esq., Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP. Consideration stated as "valuable consideration paid" — no specific dollar amount disclosed.
Seven adjoining parcels pass from two family trusts to a Delaware LLC for no stated price — the deed records only “valuable consideration paid.” The grantee's mailing address is a Wilmington mailbox, and the instrument was drawn by the same Columbus firm that represents the project. The land is assembled; who's behind the buyer is the next question.
$ ______ · blank What did they pay for the land?
The DTE-100 conveyance-fee statement — the one form that records a sale price — was produced with its value lines (1–9) left blank; the recorded deed recites only "valuable consideration paid."
Across both instruments that would carry the figure — the deed and the conveyance-fee statement — the price is absent, not unknown to the parties. The land was CAUV farmland, so converting it triggers tax recoupment; yet only the Neighbors parcel's price is disclosed anywhere. What the public's development authority paid to assemble this campus is the blank.
and then — the buyer is a Delaware shell, so the deed’s “who” is really a question about a cluster of entities that share more than a state of formation.

Four Delaware LLCs orbit the project, and two of them — Tilted Gate and Magenta Capital — share both the same agent and organizer. That is a signal of common-control plumbing, not proof of beneficial ownership: it shows coordination, and it marks exactly where to look next. The story's entity graph draws the overlaps so you can see them at once.
Hold the discipline here. Shared agents, shared organizers, a shared
Wilmington mailbox — these are signals of coordination, the plumbing of
common control. They are not, by themselves, proof of who owns or benefits.
The record earns the word signal; it has not earned verdict.
That distinction is the whole method — and it’s why the buyer’s name reads
[verified] while the link between the shells reads
[inference].
The cluster, drawn
Focused on Bistrozzi’s neighborhood: the Delaware siblings — Tilted Gate
and Magenta Capital share both a registered agent (CSC) and an organizer
(Montfort) — Bistrozzi Addition (CT Corp / Ziance), and the Vorys
advisory hub. The overlaps are the [inference] the chapter earns; common control is a
signal, not beneficial ownership — and that, not the customer, is what stays open. The
customer is Google ([verified] — AEDG’s release, allencountydatacenter.com,
Liz Schwab’s committee testimony); in the graph it’s held as an annotation, not a node
because it’s the customer, not a party to the deal mechanics — a method choice, not an open question.
What you can read anywhere now
A deed — grantor, grantee, parcels, and the consideration line, where a blank or nominal price is itself a finding. And a Secretary-of-State filing — the registered agent and organizer are how you link entities that share nothing else on their face. Overlaps are leads to verify, not conclusions to publish.
