Lordstown, Ohio, United States
OpenAI Stargate Lordstown is an AI data center under construction with AI chips owned by Softbank and used by OpenAI. In Q1 2027, we project it to host an estimated 546k H100-equivalents of compute, supported by 214 MW of IT power at a capital cost of $8.1 B.
The timeline of IT power and compute capacity is based on satellite imagery, company disclosures, and regulatory filings.
The Lordstown site centers on a former General Motors — now Foxconn — plant being retooled to manufacture data center equipment like NVIDIA servers.

Land clearing begins in the front of the site (the side facing the Ohio Turnpike), clearing away a parking lot and solar array
Still no visible construction, although construction within preexisting facilities
Active construction visible on and around the datacenter, with the roofing mostly in place. This is based on satellite imagery. No buildings operational yet.
Projected operational date. OpenAI stated Lordstown and Milam County could scale to 1.5 GW within 18 months of their September 23, 2025 announcement; subtracting Milam County's subsequently disclosed 1.2 GW capacity implies ~300 MW for Lordstown.
