OpenAI Stargate: Milam County, TX

Year Planned: 2026

Ownership: OpenAI does not own the building.

Lot Size: 595 acres

OpenAI's "Stargate" data center is being built in Milam County, Texas, in partnership with SB Energy (a SoftBank Group company). SB Energy is providing the powered infrastructure for the fast-build data center site, which it had previously planned as a $3 billion campus spanning 595 acres.

This development is part of a major initiative: a July 2025 agreement between OpenAI and Oracle to establish up to 4.5 gigawatts of additional Stargate capacity.
