Oracle Says Port Washington Data Center Financing and Construction Are Progressing on Schedule

Oracle Says Port Washington Data Center Financing and Construction Are Progressing on Schedule

Despite financing headwinds in the AI infrastructure sector, Oracle affirms key milestones remain on track for its Port Washington development
Oracle Corporation has confirmed that financing and development milestones for the massive Port Washington data center project remain on schedule, even as broader questions swirl around capital funding for its artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion.

The company said this week that work tied to its commitments, including sites crucial to contractual obligations with major AI partners, has seen no delays and is progressing according to plan.

The Port Washington project, part of a multi-billion-dollar expansion tied to Oracle’s cloud and AI capacity, is being developed in collaboration with partners and aims to deliver significant computing infrastructure needed for advanced AI workloads.

Earlier planning documents show that this site is expected to be one of several campuses under the so-called Stargate initiative, a coordinated effort to add gigawatts of data center capacity across the United States.

Construction activity at Port Washington has been underway and local planning has addressed utility and infrastructure requirements for the site.

The development is expected to create thousands of construction and long-term jobs and broaden regional economic activity.

Oracle’s reassurance that its timelines remain intact is particularly notable amid recent investor concern over the financing of its AI data center buildout.

Some reports have highlighted retreat by certain U.S. banks from deals tied to funding additional data center capacity, potentially complicating traditional financing routes for the expansions.

In at least one case, a financier previously in talks regarding another Oracle data center project opted not to proceed, leading to market speculation about funding structures.

Oracle responded by emphasising that overall schedules for key projects, including those linked to its OpenAI contracts, have not been affected by changes in specific partner arrangements and that construction will begin as planned.

The affirmation from Oracle aligns with its broader strategy of aggressively scaling its cloud infrastructure to meet surging demand for AI-driven computing services from a range of corporate customers.

As with its other global sites, the Port Washington development is designed to support a mix of advanced technologies and deliver high performance for AI and cloud workloads.

By underlining its ability to keep data center financing and construction on track, Oracle seeks to reassure investors and stakeholders of its operational resilience and the strategic importance of its infrastructure commitments.
