Turner Construction Breaks Ground on $2 Billion Vantage Data Center
Turner Construction Company broke ground last week on a $2 billion project to expand Vantage Data Centers’ campus in New Albany, Ohio.
Megaprojects, massive construction ventures valued at $1 billion or more, continue to shape the US construction industry, and over $500 billion is in the pipeline.
According to recent ConstructConnect project data, the US averaged four megaprojects per month in 2024, with a collective monthly value of $9.2 billion.
Chief Economist Michael Guckes of ConstructConnect said, “The full-year results of megaproject activity are revealing in their influence on the construction sector. These projects accounted for one out of every six dollars spent on nonresidential construction nationwide.”

ConstructConnect’s strong nonresidential construction outlook for miscellaneous civil construction, which includes power generation projects, reflects this trend.

According to ConstructConnect, notable recent energy megaprojects include a $10 billion wind power farm off the coast of Virginia and a $4 billion next-generation nuclear power plant in Wyoming.
Guckes added, “ConstructConnect continues to monitor over $500 billion worth of megaprojects that have the potential to break ground during 2025. Among these projects, more than $49 billion in transportation terminals, $33 billion in roads, and greater than $4 billion in dams and canals work.”
