Tarpon Services LLC → Sea Coral Holdings LLC → Google LLC → XXVI Holdings Inc. → Alphabet Inc.
Alphabet Inc.'s controlling voting interests are held by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The FCC application itself states
Tarpon Services LLC "is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Google LLC" — not our characterization, Google's
own filing. Tarpon owns the building and land; a second Google subsidiary, Starfish Infrastructure Inc., holds the FCC
cable license and will control what runs inside once it's operational. Tarpon's own filing describes itself as having
"no independent ability to affect the system's operation" — a shell entity holding title, not an operating company.
Lot 7A — Parcel 05-12-31-5855-00000-0070 (~27 acres, vacant)
DCB Orchid LLC → DC Blox Inc. (sole listed Member)
Resolved as of July 2026: DCB Orchid LLC's own Florida foreign-LLC registration lists its sole Member as
DC Blox Inc., same Atlanta address (1040 Crown Pointe Parkway, Suite 560) — not a Google entity
at any level. DCB Orchid LLC bought the original 34-acre Lot 7 tract outright in October 2023, years before the
Lot 7A/7B subdivision, for consideration of roughly $3.3 million (per deed doc stamps). Unlike Tarpon Services LLC
and Starfish Infrastructure Inc., DCB Orchid LLC does not appear anywhere in the FCC cable-license proceeding.

Media Coverage — Chronological
Every outside news story on this project found in a July 2026 search, oldest to newest. Our own reporting is above, listed first.
First public reporting on the project: DC Blox's 34-acre Town Center purchase and its request for two cable-landing easements in Flagler Beach, both still undecided.
Reports the final easement agreement as settled. Our own research found the actual government record — Resolution 2024-24 — adopted Nov. 14, 2024, not the Oct. 17 date other secondary reporting has cited; that discrepancy is still unresolved.
Trade-press writeup of the public announcement: Google's Sol cable will anchor DC Blox's new Palm Coast campus, connecting to Bermuda, the Azores, and Spain.
First reporting on the Lot 7A/7B subdivision and the sale to Tarpon Services LLC, and on the facility's footprint being kept under the 50,000-sq-ft threshold that triggers public board review.
Both the city and county move toward a moratorium on new data center applications while land-use rules are rewritten — explicitly framed as a response to this project.
Council member Ty Miller proposes classifying future data centers as "high-impact" or "low-impact," requiring special-exception review for the largest projects.
Council adopts language requiring a supermajority vote for any future data center — explicitly carving out this project as the one exception that got in under the old rules.
A DC Blox VP tells a local radio show the campus will ultimately be two buildings totaling about 100,000 sq ft — nearly triple the 33,760 sq ft the city actually approved, and public review would be required if that size had been disclosed up front.
