Crusoe and Redwood Materials Scale Joint Venture 7x, Adding 20 Modular Data Centers
Crusoe and Redwood Materials announced the expansion of their joint venture, adding 20 Crusoe Spark modular data centers to an existing off-grid microgrid system on Redwood's campus in Sparks, Nevada — scaling the partnership's artificial intelligence infrastructure density to seven times its original capacity.
The announcement, dated March 24, 2026, builds on a proof-of-concept deployment that the companies said achieved 99.2% operational uptime.
Expansion Details and Property Specifications
The original deployment consisted of a single Crusoe Spark module. The latest expansion brings the total to 21 modules on the Redwood Materials campus in Sparks, Nevada. No street address for the site was disclosed in the announcement.
The expansion adds 20 data center modules to the same infrastructure, which the companies said demonstrated the system's ability to support rapid, large-scale deployment.
No transaction price, lease terms, square footage figures, or loan details were disclosed. The arrangement is structured as a joint venture operational expansion rather than a conventional commercial real estate transaction.
Partnership Structure
Crusoe serves as the lead general partner in the joint venture, providing the Spark modular data center technology and AI infrastructure expertise. Redwood Materials contributes the campus real estate and microgrid infrastructure. The companies did not disclose ownership percentages, capital contributions, or revenue-sharing arrangements.
The 7x scaling of AI infrastructure density on the same physical footprint illustrates a key characteristic of modular data center deployments: the ability to increase computing capacity without proportional increases in land use or construction activity.
