Micron poured its first concrete at the Clay, New York fab site on July 9, more than a quarter ahead of schedule, marking the shift from site prep to vertical construction.

The company also raised its total planned U.S. investment to more than $250 billion through 2035, aiming to produce 40% of its DRAM domestically. The New York campus, with up to four fabs, is expected to create 50,000 jobs, including 9,000 direct Micron positions.

Micron has directed about $675 million to New York-based contractors and suppliers so far, more than half of total awarded value. Over 80% of on-site workers to date have been New York residents.

Bechtel will handle engineering, procurement, and construction for the first fab. Jacobs is the design partner, and Gilbane Building Company led early site infrastructure work.

Groundbreaking occurred in January 2026, less than six months before this milestone.

Google has been confirmed as the owner behind Wyoming's largest data center project, formerly known as Project Jade and now called Project Tembo, located 8 miles south of Cheyenne.

The 2.7-gigawatt facility will sit on a 716-acre campus in the Switchgrass Industrial Park, with completion planned for 2031.

Filings with Laramie County describe four data center halls, an office hub, logistics and network buildings, and new access roads off U.S. 85.

Development is being handled by Jupiter Star Holdings, a Google subsidiary that has taken over from Crusoe, the original builder.

Power will come through Tallgrass Energy, which will combine resources from Black Hills Energy, fuel cells, and its own power plant. Wastewater will be managed on-site through evaporative lagoon storage rather than connecting to Cheyenne's municipal system.

A public hearing on a related permit is set for August 13, with comments accepted through July 31.

Otsuka ICU Medical LLC announced an over $500 million expansion of its Austin, Texas IV solutions manufacturing, adding a new 500,000 square foot facility alongside its existing 700,000 square foot site. The project aims to boost supply resiliency, accelerate non-DEHP product development, and marks the first major milestone from the ICU Medical-Otsuka joint venture finalized in May 2025.

Peak Energy is building the country's first sodium-ion grid storage manufacturing plant at Sacramento's Metro Air Park, backed by up to $71 million in investment. The 183,000 square foot facility will produce up to 4 GWh annually, create 239 local jobs, and start production in Q1 2027. Peak secured a $10.5 million CalCompetes tax credit and holds over 6 GWh in customer commitments.

BT Gateway Data Center LLC has filed with Texas regulators for a $384 million, 100,000 square foot data center near Royse City in Hunt County. Construction runs August 2026 to February 2027. The project shares an address with Belltown Power, a renewable developer with over 3GW of projects, which lists ten planned data center sites totaling 4.1GW.

Lovett Industrial and NewQuest have formed a joint venture to develop Seguin Exchange Commerce Park, a 164-acre industrial campus at I-10 and Highway 46 in Seguin, Texas. At full build-out, it will total more than 2 million square feet. Site work is underway, with leasing handled by Cavender & Hill's Ty Bragg, Lee Jordan, and Ford Douglass.

Groundbreaking for the Allianz Arena took place on October 21, 2002, exactly one year after Munich voters approved the project in a referendum, with 65.8% in favor. The stadium was built on the Fröttmaning Heath in northern Munich.

Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron designed the stadium. Alpine Bau Deutschland served as the main contractor, having partnered with the architects as part of the winning consortium against 28 other applicants.

Construction took roughly 30 months, with the concrete structure completed by March 2004 and the first ETFE facade panel installed in May 2004. The stadium was handed over to operators on April 30, 2005, and officially opened days later.

The project used about 120,000 cubic meters of concrete and 22,000 tonnes of steel, with total construction costs reaching approximately €340 million including financing.

The finished stadium originally seated 66,000, later expanded to 75,000 for domestic matches and 70,000 for international games, featuring 2,760 ETFE facade panels, of which about 1,506 can be illuminated.

FC Bayern Munich both owns and operates the Allianz Arena.

Zero RFI and Track3D announced a strategic partnership on July 14 to bring AI-powered construction progress tracking directly to building owners and developers.

The deal integrates Track3D's Reality Intelligence platform into Zero RFI's service delivery, creating a connected workflow from active construction through project closeout.

Track3D converts site captures from 360° cameras, drones, and laser scanners into measurable project insights, without requiring BIM models or complex integrations.

The partnership aims to give owners direct visibility into site conditions, rather than relying on periodic, manually compiled reports from project teams. Track3D's platform can consolidate more than 20 job walks into a single capture process.

Zero RFI, founded by KP Reddy and backed by General Catalyst, operates through owner's representative firms and professional services companies powered by its Foundation Zero intelligence platform. The company has offices in Atlanta, San Francisco, Boston, New York, and Denver.

Track3D was founded in 2022 and is based on an AI-first reality capture monitoring approach.
