Crusoe has filed plans with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for two data center buildings in Jayton, Kent County, each spanning 759,260 square feet, with a combined site investment of $4.8 billion. The buildings are classified as 'spur buildings' of Project Hyper, linking them to Crusoe's larger development in Childress, where three buildings totaling 806,360 square feet represent a $2.4 billion investment each. Construction in Jayton is set to begin in January 2027, with the buildings expected to go live in May and July 2029. Combined with the Childress site, the full Project Hyper investment across both locations would reach $12 billion.
The scale of Project Hyper, at $12 billion across two Texas sites, represents one of the largest single data center campus commitments on record, with Meta reported as a prospective tenant in Childress. The Jayton filings also illustrate how hyperscale campus development is expanding into smaller, rural Texas communities beyond established data center markets.
A $4.8 billion campus filing by Crusoe in Jayton, Texas is a major construction announcement from a high-profile AI infrastructure company, signaling significant new capacity investment in Texas. This is a distinct event from the previously published Crusoe Amarillo/Google story.
