If you've been near Tulane and Stateline roads in Southaven lately, you know the dust. The Daily Memphian reported dozens of dump trucks and concrete trucks at work Thursday, Nov. 5, as SpaceXAI builds two more data centers there.
“I walked the whole Colossus 2 site around midnight and again this morning. Good progress by the SpaceX team and contractors. Gun Range is tracking to be operational by end of November and Spam in December.”
SpaceXAI's Colossus 2 campus is growing to six data centers
- 6
- SpaceXAI data centers in the Memphis metro area
- 2
- new data centers under construction on Tulane Road
- 100
- jobs expected from the broader Southaven development

Action News 5 says the two new sites bring SpaceXAI to six data centers in the Memphis metro area. Neighbors are feeling the build: Southaven resident Najja Proby told FOX13 that traffic, congestion and noise have grown, according to DeSoto County News. The Mississippi Independent asked SpaceXAI, eight Southaven officials and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to confirm plans for Spam. None answered.
- Gun Range: named for the property's former use
- Spam: a nod to the former Hormel Foods building
- Najja Proby: 15 years just west of Tulane Road
