Cloverleaf Infrastructure is planning to develop a large data center campus in Port Washington, Wisconsin.

As discussed this week at a local meeting, Cloverleaf is looking to develop on 1,000 acres north of the Ozaukee County town, west of I-43, and east of the Ozaukee Interurban Trail between Lake Drive and Dixie Road.

The precise number or capacity of buildings that could be developed over the next five to eight years isn’t clear, but each could total up to three stories and would see at least one substation developed on the site, according to the Ozaukee Press.

Construction could begin this Fall, with completion of the first phase in the next three years. An end-user is not in place yet, but would not be a cryptomining company, according to Cloverleaf.

Founded last year by Brian Janous, the former head of energy at Microsoft, Cloverleaf is a developer of large-scale digital infrastructure sites powered by low-carbon electricity. The company secured $300 million in funding from private equity investors NGP and Sandbrook Capital in July. This is the first project the company has gone public with.

The land is currently in the town of Port Washington and would require annexing into the city. Residents have told TMJ4 that offers have been made on their properties and the company has options on many.

Port Washington is located north of Milwaukee in West Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Michigan. News that local officials were quietly in discussions with a company about a major development first surfaced in December – the site was reportedly previously earmarked for a chip fab but the project fell through.

According to council agendas, Cloverleaf has been working through an affiliate known as Red Granite DevCo, LLC.
