Sign InConstruction spending on data centers in the United States reached a record high in 2025, surging 32% to hit $41 billion according to the Census Bureau. This explosive growth represents a 344% increase since 2020, driven primarily by the massive infrastructure requirements of Artificial Intelligence. Major technology firms, including Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle, have collectively announced capital expenditure plans totaling $700 billion for 2026. While this boom significantly outperforms traditional office construction, it is also contributing to inflationary pressures, with nonresidential building costs jumping 1.1% in January 2026. This massive investment cycle signals sustained long-term demand for AI infrastructure, benefiting tech giants and utility providers alike.
