Investment Strategies for Intel's $20b Chip Factory in Columbus

[Ryan Blankenship]

Intel plans to build America's first chip factory, and possibly the biggest in the world. They are estimated to spend over $20 billion on construction, with some estimates ranging to $100 billion. Construction will take place over the next 10 years. Once completed, it will employ over 3,000 workers with an average salary of $135,000.

Of course everyone is different, but how would you approach this?

1. Local long-term rental and wait on appreciation?

2. Local midterm rental for thousands of transient employees over the next 10 years?

3. Local short-term rental

4. A short-term rental in the nearest weekend getaway spot?

FYI it's not the first in the US as Phoenix has a few Intel fabs already and TSMC is looking to build more there.  Silicon Valley of course earned it's name by manufacturing chips for many decades as well.  That being said, I would leverage Phoenix's growth as an example of what could be possible although there are of course many other factors to consider.
