ESS compute + BROAD HOLON
manufacturing under one roof

A 250 MW ESS compute module and a BROAD HOLON + B-Core factory inside the existing I-X Center, powered by the Morabito power island upgraded to five turbines with 100 ft stacks on the south parcel, and a corporate park for offices and light manufacturing.

The short version
The bottom line

The City said no to a data center at the I-X.
It has not been asked about a factory with its own power plant.

1

Lead with manufacturing. The BROAD HOLON + B-Core factory is the principal use. ESS compute is a load the campus power plant serves, not the headline.

2

Reuse the shell, cap everything else at 100 ft. Compute and manufacturing go inside the existing ±90 ft building. Stacks, offices and garages stay at or under 100 ft.

3

Same power as Morabito, one turbine bigger. Five LMS100-class gas turbines and a steam turbine, ±705 MW, so the whole campus runs even with two turbines out.

The housing towers from the Morabito kit are replaced by a corporate park for offices and light manufacturing. Housing near the airfield runs into noise-compatibility limits; offices and light industry do not.
Cleveland’s pause on new standalone data centers runs July 15 – October 16, 2026, and can be extended up to three months. Nothing in this deck should be filed before the City’s new rules are adopted.

Why the I-X Center
The site · public record

A 2.2 million sq ft building the City owns and wants filled with industry

Building2.2M sq ft, built in 1942 as a GM bomber plant. Main roof about 90 ft. About 90 acres of land with it.
OwnershipCity of Cleveland. Leased to Industrial Realty Group (IRG); a 49-year extension is approved, with a 10-year exit if the airport needs the land.
StatusLast consumer show March 2026. A Fortune 100 deal fell through early this year; a 2025 plan offered 1.5M sq ft for conversion. A 25 MW substation is on site.
Tax dealJuly 2026 settlement: Cleveland keeps 100% of I-X and Emerald Corporate Park taxes, so it can now offer job incentives there.
City goalAdvanced manufacturing, aerospace and defense, with hundreds of good jobs.
Next doorBrowns domed stadium (176 ac, opening 2029); a proposed $30M RTA Red Line stadium station (construction Q1 2028); Hopkins airport; the NS line used by Amtrak.
The city of Cleveland has no interest in having a facility that could be so valuable used for a data center, with low jobs.
Tom McNair, Chief of Integrated Development, City of Cleveland · News 5, Feb 28, 2026
Brook Park residents gathered about 2,000 signatures against an AI data center at the I-X. This deck answers both on the merits: a manufacturer as the main use, compute inside the shell, zero cooling water, named employers.

The partners
Who does what

Two companies that already build what this campus needs

ESS · Energy Storage Solutions

  • Rocky Mount, NC. Builds behind-the-meter campuses: 300 MW AC with 1,200 MWh of storage, gas generation on site, surplus sold to the grid. Reports a pipeline over 7.5 GW.
  • Withdrew its 900 MW Kingsboro, NC campus in July 2026; investors asked for “friendlier communities.”
  • In this deck: Module 1 only — one 250 MW IT data side (±300 MW load), per FOS216-RDC-001.

BROAD Group · HOLON + B-Core

  • Builds HOLON buildings from stainless B-Core slabs, brazed at about 2,012 °F. Its main plant is 755,000 sq ft with about 100 robotic systems and turns out a 40 × 8 ft slab every 2 minutes.
  • Modules are 40HQ shipping-container size, so finished modules can leave on rail container cars.
  • In this deck: a U.S. HOLON + B-Core factory sized to BROAD’s main plant, with a U.S. EPC partner.

Why a fifth turbine

ESS’s module is ±300 MW on its own. With Morabito’s four turbines, two turbines out leaves ±280 MW — less than ESS needs. A fifth turbine carries the whole campus with two turbines out, which is close to ESS’s own practice of planning double capacity.

Why not a bigger turbine

The LMS100 is GE’s largest aeroderivative. The next step up is an industrial frame unit with a bigger HRSG and, normally, a taller stack. Adding a turbine keeps every stack at 100 ft; upsizing the frame works against it.

Air permit

A shorter stack spreads exhaust less. Ohio EPA dispersion modeling has to show compliance at 100 ft. SCR + CO catalysts (target ±2 ppm NOx), silencers and CEMS on all five stacks, as at Morabito.

Building downwash

A 90 ft building pulls exhaust down within about 450 ft of it. On the south parcel the stacks are about 830 ft from the I-X shell, outside that zone.

Airport

On the south parcel the five stacks sit ≈3,500 ft off the runway centerline. They still need FAA Form 7460-1 and a plume review — file early, as one package.

Cooling and heat
Morabito SP-005 · zero water

No cooling water, and the waste heat goes to work

  • Liquid-to-chip at 45 °C in the data halls. No chillers, no cooling towers, no evaporation.
  • The old roof can’t carry dry coolers, so they go in a ±7 acre ground yard west of the shell.
  • Heat pumps lift ±50 °C return water to ±70 °C for a campus hot-water loop, with a 1M gallon tank at the heat station.
  • The steam cycle uses an air-cooled condenser: only a small make-up flow for the boilers.

Who uses the heat

the HOLON factory floor, module finishing and the corporate park, plus snowmelt on the motor court and walks.

A customer next door

The Browns stadium district plans hotels, apartments and retail on 176 acres. It is a candidate heat customer — not yet discussed with the Haslam group or Brook Park.

Freight out by rail, people in by train

  • Freight: Finished HOLON modules are shipping-container size. They leave on rail container cars from the dock inside the shell, and stainless coil comes in the same way. The spur depends on the I-X reaching the NS line — a parcel check comes first.
  • Workers: RTA’s proposed stadium station on the Red Line ($30M, construction Q1 2028) sits about a mile from the stadium and is the closest transit stop to the campus.
  • Amtrak: Hopkins is a proposed stop on both 3C+D and Cleveland–Toledo–Detroit. A shared Amtrak + RTA + stadium stop would make this the C1 campus station.

What has to be solved
Honest list

What could stop this, and what answers it

BROAD is a Chinese company. Ohio HB 1 / SB 88 (foreign-adversary property) was pending at the end of 2025 and flagged for 2026; its status now needs checking. The City owns the I-X and IRG holds the lease, so lease terms matter. A U.S. EPC partner in the joint venture is the starting structure.
Hyperscale tenants and a Chinese neighbor. A compute tenant may object to sharing a roof with a Chinese-owned factory. Separate fire areas, air, security and ownership of each side are the minimum answer.
Jobs are not yet a number. BROAD’s plant is highly automated. Count only the jobs BROAD commits to in writing.
The City’s stated position. Cleveland said in February it does not want a low-jobs data center at the I-X. The filing has to read as manufacturing + power first, and the job count has to be real.
Moratorium and neighbors. The pause on standalone data centers runs to October 16, 2026, extendable to January 2027. Brook Park residents have petitioned against a data center here.
Gas, air and airspace. ±108 MMcf/day needs a written answer from Dominion. Five stacks at 100 ft need Ohio EPA modeling. Everything near Hopkins needs FAA review.
The south parcel. Five units are a tight fit there. Who owns it — the City of Cleveland or Brook Park — has to be confirmed, and Abram Creek needs a stream setback and wetland check before the pad edge is fixed.

The asks

BROAD U.S.A.Factory size, power draw and job count for a U.S. HOLON + B-Core plant; the U.S. EPC partner; module rail-shipping plan.
IRG + the CitySpace for a split building inside the lease; a planned-development filing that treats the campus as manufacturing + power with compute as a served load.
FOS216Trace the parcel and shell from county GIS, fit this program to it, draw the height and airspace check, and price it (Class 5).
For scale: ESS Module 1 on the FOS216 Urban Campus model was estimated at about $5.8B (FOS216-RDC-001, Class 5, different generation spec). The I-X version reuses a building and swaps the generation, so it needs its own estimate.
