Overview
- The Saline Township project will comprise three 550,000-square-foot buildings totaling about 1.4 gigawatts of computing capacity, developed by Related Digital.
- Construction is slated to begin in early 2026 and the build is expected to employ more than 2,500 union construction workers.
- DTE Energy will provide power using existing transmission capacity, with any necessary grid upgrades funded by the project, and the campus will use closed-loop cooling to limit water use.
- The campus carries a reported price tag north of $7 billion, according to coverage citing the Wall Street Journal.
- The site becomes the sixth U.S. Stargate campus as Oracle leases and equips the facilities for OpenAI, with Michigan’s new data-center incentives cited by state leaders and Oracle’s reported multibillion-dollar funding and Nvidia hardware purchases underpinning the broader buildout.
