Related Digital’s Michigan Facility to be Part of OpenAI's Stargate

OpenAI, Oracle, and Related Digital this week announced plans to develop a data center campus with more than a gigawatt of capacity in Saline Township. It will be part of Stargate, OpenAI's sprawling project to invest $500bn in digital infrastructure over the next four years to support the firm's compute needs.

“We are proud to be developing this critical project exclusively for Oracle and contributing to keeping our nation competitive in the global AI race,” said Jeff T. Blau, CEO of Related Companies and chairman of Related Digital. “This historic, multi-billion-dollar investment will ensure that Michigan plays a leading role in developing the digital infrastructure American companies need.”

“This project will help ensure Michigan is a key part of building the AI infrastructure that will power the next generation of American innovation,” said Peter Hoeschele, OpenAI’s vice president of industrial compute. “By expanding Stargate to Michigan, we can strengthen domestic supply chains, create good jobs, and help more communities share in the economic opportunities AI is creating. We’re proud to work with Oracle, Related Digital, DTE Energy, and other partners to bring this project to life in a way that benefits the local community.”
