Crusoe, the industry’s first vertically-integrated AI infrastructure provider, announced the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities with a new specialized facility in Brighton. Branded as the “Spark Factory,” the site is dedicated to the production of Crusoe Spark™, the company’s modular factory, allowing Crusoe to rapidly and predictably scale capacity through growth of their Spark data centers and expansion of its Cloud AI platform and other offerings.
The company is moving into 352,000-square-feet at 22600 E. I-76 Frontage Road in 76 Commerce Center. They will be creating over 200 new jobs with high salaries and investing $200 million. Once complete, the factory will produce transportable mini-data centers, which the company calls Crusoe Spark units.
Between the leasing and building out of Crusoe’s new Spark Factory in Brighton, Crusoe’s investment into an initial fleet of Crusoe Spark data center units, will add many additional jobs throughout Crusoe’s supply chains. This adds to Crusoe’s more than 500 existing employees who work across the company’s vertically-integrated manufacturing footprint in Colorado, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
“Speed is core to Crusoe’s DNA and is the primary driver behind our new Spark Factory – allowing us to move beyond traditional construction methods to deliver AI infrastructure in a modular productized form factor with velocity,” said Cully Cavness, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Strategy Officer of Crusoe. “By manufacturing modular data center units in-house, we can rapidly scale our Crusoe Cloud and Managed Inference offerings.”
The prefabricated Spark data centers range from small — with energy use measured in kilowatts — to large, hundred-plus megawatt offerings. The modular data center units fabricated in Brighton could be delivered in as soon as three months after an order and deliver directly to where the data is most needed, according to Crusoe.
“We are proud to welcome Crusoe to Brighton,” said Brighton Mayor Gregory Mills. “Their investment brings cutting-edge advanced manufacturing to our I-76 industrial corridor, further strengthening an area that is already home to many innovative companies. This project reflects the strong collaboration between the Brighton Economic Development Corporation, City departments and Adams County to support new business and ensure a smooth transition. I would also like to recognize Hyde Development, owner of 76 Commerce Center, for securing such a valuable tenant.”
The company expects this Crusoe Spark module facility to be completed during the third quarter of 2026. To support this expansion, Crusoe is actively hiring for multiple positions across the Denver and Brighton areas, including roles in manufacturing, electrical engineering, and production operations.
