kevin o'leary Digital Stratos Hyperscale Data Center
Status: Active Master Planning / Architectural Phase | Location: Box Elder County, Utah, United States
Project Overview
Officially revealed through architectural master plans, the Stratos Hyperscale Data Center represents one of the largest planned mission-critical infrastructure projects in global history. Commissioned by Kevin O'Leary Digital, the development sits on a massive parcel designated by Utah’s governmental Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA). The master layout features 60 individual data center buildings organized into six distinct multi-facility clusters. The campus is engineered from the ground up to address the national security imperative for high-performance computing supremacy, functioning as a distributed "AI factory" optimized for sovereign large language model (LLM) training and hyperscale cloud workloads. Positioned outside India, this gigascale footprint establishes a massive computing ecosystem designed to bypass traditional municipal grid blockages through independent infrastructure master planning.
