Groundbreaking Marks New Era for Data Center Infrastructure in Wisconsin

PORT WASHINGTON, WI — Weitz, a subsidiary of Orascom Construction, is one of the general contractors on the Lighthouse data center campus in Port Washington, Wisconsin, a project being brought to life by Vantage Data Centers. Lighthouse is part of the broader Stargate initiative in partnership with Oracle and OpenAI, and it represents a more than $15 billion investment in next-generation AI and data center infrastructure in Wisconsin.

Spanning 672 acres, the campus will include four data centers delivering nearly 1 gigawatt of computing capacity once complete in 2028. Designed with sustainability in mind, Lighthouse will feature closed-loop liquid cooling, zero-emission energy generation, and water-positive operations, helping power both the campus and the region.

Weitz is working alongside community leaders, union partners, and local stakeholders as this project creates thousands of construction jobs and positions Port Washington as an emerging hub for digital innovation. Together with Vantage and the broader Stargate team, the company is building infrastructure that supports economic growth and responsible AI development for years to come.

The Weitz Company is a full-service construction company, general contractor, design-builder, and construction manager with office locations throughout the United States.
