5 MW would give you about 30-40 Petahash. This assumes around 0.1 Joule/Gigahash, as for the Bitmain S9.
Capital cost would be about 5 to 10 million USD depending on building availability, miner hardware cost and what electrical infrastructure (high voltage transformers etc) is needed. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1512967.0
If you don't have the capital to purchase your own miners the other approach to earning money is to just build and wire the building, and then host hardware. But this is labor intensive and requires a support infrastructure. To keep costs down you would need to limit mining users, say to just those who will pay for at least 50 Killowatts.
Thanks for the great reply. The finance guy finished his work. were looking at approx 3400 miners with 5 MW, however; the cost of cooling needs to be determined. I am in touch with a couple of data center project management - including immersion cooling.

.0275 per watt and production at approx 95%
building is in northern canada.
I'm working with a finance guy and need to begin working on sales forecast of btc, easier to target just one crypto-currency at this moment.

What are the various ways, other than just mining for profit, does a operation such as this with these resources make money?
Working on a business plan and wondering what I may be missing.
