Nebius is set to develop a 300MW data center, BHM01, in Birmingham, Alabama, on an 80-acre site formerly occupied by Regions Bank. The acquisition of properties along Lakeshore Parkway, totaling $90 million, includes the demolition of the existing Regions Lakeshore Operations Center.

Community concerns about environmental impacts and infrastructure were discussed in a recent meeting. Nebius projects the facility could contribute $80 million annually to local schools and plans partnerships with institutions such as UAB. The city is currently reviewing the permit application amidst a local moratorium on new data centers.
