Montgomery, Alabama, United States
Meta Montgomery is an operational AI data center hosting an estimated 174k H100-equivalent chips, scaling toward a projected 407k H100-equivalent chips — supported by 153 MW of IT power, rising to 358 MW — at a capital cost of $5.8 B, rising to $13.6 B. We estimate that it uses Nvidia B300 chips. The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, our cooling equipment power model, structural similarity to known buildings, chip availability, and chip efficiency. In September 2025, Meta announced a major expansion that will grow the campus to roughly 1.3 million square feet.

Land clearing begins.
Building 1 and 2 under construction, with all chillers visible.
Buildings 1 and 2 are nearly complete, but there's still some equipment strewn around the site and few cars in the front carpark, so we expect 3 more months needed for commissioning and server installation. Building 3 has a half-finished roof and Building 4 shell is beginning construction.
Building 1 and 2 are operational (estimate).
Buildings 5 and 6 are operational (estimate). Based on the tent buildings at Meta Prometheus taking about 11 months from starting the tent structure to estimated operation.
Buildings 3 and 4 are operational (estimate). In September 2025, Building 1 and 2 appeared to be in a similar state to Building 3 and 4 in May 2026. Based on that, we apply an 8-month delay to the Building 1 and 2 operational date to get the Building 3 and 4 operational date.
