Located along Stainback Road in Ellis County, the project will see the construction of a two-story data center totaling 425,170 sq ft (39,500 sqm).

The $256 million project is set to run from February 2025 to August 2028.

DataBank already has a large presence in Dallas, including its headquarters DFW1, and six other data centers in the Dallas metropolitan area.

The company announced a new campus in Red Oak in September. Set on 292 acres, the 480MW site can accommodate up to eight two-story facilities at full build-out, each spanning 425,000 sq ft (40,000 sqm).

The first phase will feature four buildings and a 400MW substation from Oncor, capable of delivering up to 240MW of critical IT power. Completion of the first phase is expected in Q2 2026.

The company filed to develop DFW9 at the Red Oak campus in June. The facility will span more than 425,000 sq ft (40,000 sqm), with construction set to begin in September and scheduled for completion in Q1 2027.

JHET Architects is involved in both projects.

Google and Compass both have a presence in the Red Oak area.
