Vantage Data Centers has broken ground on the Lighthouse data center project in Port Washington, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driven by a $15 billion investment, Lighthouse is part of Oracle and OpenAI\u2019s Stargate initiative and marks what Vantage calls a \u201cmajor step forward\u201d for digital infrastructure and economic growth in the Midwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus will feature four data centers on 674 acres, delivering 902 MW of IT capacity. The facilities will be built to a sustainable-by-design blueprint that includes closed-loop cooling<\/a> and the development of \u201czero-emission energy capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighthouse Campus: Development Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located 30 minutes from Milwaukee, the Lighthouse campus is Vantage\u2019s first data center complex in the Badger State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction of the $8 billion first phase will be undertaken by Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, The Weitz Company, Michels Corporation, and a joint venture between Turner Construction and McCarthy Building Companies. It is expected to be completed by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to work alongside community organizations, union partners, and local leaders as Lighthouse creates thousands of union-majority construction jobs and helps position Wisconsin as a hub for AI and digital innovation,\u201d Vantage said in a LinkedIn post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attending the groundbreaking ceremony last week were Ted Neitzke, Mayor of Port Washington; Gale Klappa, with the Milwaukee 7 Regional Partnership; and Emily Pritzkow and Dan Bukiewicz of the Milwaukee Building Trades Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opening the Stargate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced at the start of the year, Stargate was created by a consortium of tech giants<\/a>, including Oracle, OpenAI, SoftBank, and MGX, with Arm, Microsoft, and Nvidia also involved as key technology partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stargate will include 10 data centers located across the US and internationally. The ambitious $500 billion investment aims to deliver 10 GW of capacity over the next four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Port Washington campus, Stargate facilities have been confirmed for Abilene, Texas; Shackelford County and Milam County, Texas; Do\u00f1a Ana County, New Mexico; and Lordstown, Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further afield, Stargate Norway<\/a> aims to deliver 230 MW of capacity, and Stargate campuses are also planned for the UAE<\/a>, UK<\/a>, and Argentina<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Ellison, Oracle\u2019s chairman and chief technology officer, said the venture could potentially expand to include up to 20 data center projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world,\u201d OpenAI said in a news release<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
