Quantica Infrastructure

Quantica Infrastructure's Big Sky Digital Infrastructure arm has proposed a 5,000-acre AI data center campus near Broadview, Montana. The project, backed by Houston investors, targets 7,000 MW of power generation capacity. Company representatives have promised local jobs and community donations, describing it as "a data center done right." The proposal faces grassroots opposition from residents citing water availability, electricity, and zoning concerns. The campus footprint would span roughly 3,800 football fields. GCs, subs, and vendors should monitor local zoning board minutes and state utility interconnection studies for scope and timeline details.

Quantica has announced plans to build a data center north of Billings in the Broadview area of Montana, accompanied by massive gas power plants to supply the facility. The company quietly acquired land in the area before making the announcement, suggesting early-stage planning with significant power infrastructure requirements. This appears to be a new entrant developing a greenfield data center project in a non-traditional Montana market, which could represent a significant opportunity for infrastructure, power, and construction vendors. The involvement of dedicated gas power generation indicates a potentially large-scale facility. Given the early announcement stage, there is time for BD engagement but early outreach would be advantageous.
