Google Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States

Google Fort Wayne is an AI data center under construction with AI chips owned by Google and used by Google DeepMind (speculative). In Q2 2028, we project it to host an estimated 4,704k H100-equivalents of compute, supported by 863 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $32.7 B.

The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, chip availability, and chip efficiency.

Fort Wayne is one of the first sites to use Google’s new, larger data center design with expanded cooling, and is projected to draw roughly 1 GW of total facility power when completed in 2028.

First signs of development/land clearing

Roof complete on Building 1 (the 'H'), although we suspect this building is not for AI compute due to the construction speed, irregular design, and lack of external cooling.

After a long quiet period they've laid foundations for Building 2 and the substation.

Building 2 looks externally complete

Mar 1, 2026

The chillers for Buildings 2 and 3 are both a little less than half done and the buildings still look like active construction sites.

Dec 1, 2026

Estimated operational date of Building 2, the first AI compute building. However, this represents less than 1/5 of the estimated total compute being available because chips installed in the future will be more power-efficient.
