From The WSJ story:

Developer Related Companies has agreed to build a more than $7 billion data-center campus on farmland outside Detroit, one of the largest deals yet for this burgeoning real estate class that powers AI.

Related’s 250-acre campus in Saline Township, Mich., is the fourth new site announced as part of a $300-billion contract signed between Oracle

and OpenAI, which the ChatGPT maker says is part of its larger Stargate project designed to build trillions of dollars worth of new computing capacity.

The Related site, about 13 miles from Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus, is designed to deliver more than one gigawatt of computing capacity. That is roughly equivalent to the electricity needed to power more than 750,000 homes.  
Investment estimate: $10 billion. Expected to break ground next year (2026). OpenAI is set to make $13 billion in sales this year -- but is putting itself on the hook for an average of $60 billion in yearly payments for its Oracle contract alone.
