Digital Realty files for 80MW project in Dallas

Digital Realty has filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration (TDLR) to build DFW45 at its Digital Garland campus.

The company aims to invest $300 million to develop a 672,000 sq ft (62,430 sqm) building at 1602 Ferris Road in Garland, Dallas County.

The building will include ten 8MW suites, for a total of 80MW. Construction is set to run from June 2026 to January 2029.

Digital first announced plans for a campus in Garland on W Campbell Road in 2017 and an expansion in 2018.

The company previously filed to develop DFW37 at 1502 Ferris Road in 2024. In 2022, the company filed to develop a ‘one-story, 181,200 square feet (16,800 sqm) core and shell data center' at 1505 Ferris Road.

Digital Realty currently has more than a dozen data centers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and more around Houston and Austin.

CoreSite set to expand into Texas

CoreSite, meanwhile, is expanding into Texas with its first facility in Dallas.

The American Tower-owned firm has filed with the TDLR to develop DA1, a 230,000 sq ft (21,365 sqm) facility.

The two-story facility will be located at 2701 E. Grauwyler in the Irving area of Dallas County.

Construction on the $200m project will run from April 2027 to December 2028.

The site currently hosts several industrial buildings developed in the 1970s and 1980s. BancTec, a subsidiary of Exela Technologies, had previously occupied the property under a long-term lease agreement.

CanTex Capital acquired the 50-acre site in 2023, acquiring it alongside Nicola Wealth Real Estate, from an affiliate of Broadstone Net Lease Inc.

News that CoreSite was looking to develop a data center on the property surfaced in planning commission meetings back in February. The site could eventually host three two-story data center buildings across some 37 acres.

DataBank expands in Red Oak again

US operator DataBank has filed to develop another data center in Dallas.

The company aims to build DFW15, a 443,680 sq ft (41,220 sqm), two-story building, on land along Batchler Road in Red Oak, Ellis County.

Construction on the $425m project will run from February 2027 to August 2029.

DataBank first announced plans for a new campus in Red Oak in September 2024. At full build-out, the 292-acre campus will have eight two-story data centers, each of which will offer 200,000 sq ft (18,580 sqm).

The first phase totals four buildings (DFW9, DFW10, DFW11, and DFW12) along Batchler Road. Construction work is ongoing.

The Texas-based company has more than a dozen data centers around the wider Dallas area, plus facilities in Houston and Austin.

Colovore files to develop in Hutto

Colovore, an early pioneer in developing liquid-cooled colocation data centers, has filed to build a new facility outside Austin in Hutto.

The company has filed with the TDLR to develop Colovore Hutto at 2401 Innovation Boulevard in Williamson County.

The $280 million project would see a 192,695 sq ft (17,900 sqm), single-story facility developed. Construction would run from December 2026 to December 2028. The site is currently greenfield land.

On its website, Colovore said the 40MW AUS01 will be able to offer densities of more than 600kW per rack across five 8MW data halls.

Launched in 2013, Colovore carved out an early niche for liquid-cooled racks capable of up to 35kW. The company launched its original single-story, 24,000 sq ft (2,230 sqm) facility at 1101 Space Park Drive in Santa Clara in 2014. A second facility opened nearby in 2024.

The company was acquired by investment firm King Street in 2024, and subsequently announced plans to expand into Reno, Nevada, and Chicago, Illinois.

Plans for a facility in Hutto were first revealed in late 2024, with the company filing plans for Project Raptor with the Hutto city council.

On its website, the company also lists plans for two facilities in Dallas. The 44.8MW DFW01 is set to be located in Mesquite, while the 32MW DFW02 will be located in Fort Worth.

Further projects are reportedly planned around Virginia, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, California, and Washington.

Hut 8 to develop in Corpus Cristi

Hut 8, a cryptominer that has pivoted to data center development, is planning a facility outside Corpus Cristi.

Via Beacon Point DC LLC, aka Lon Hill Infrastructure LLC, the company filed an application with the TDLR to develop the Beacon Point Data Center Project. The 657,130 sq ft (61,049 sqm) building will be located at 4650 FM 1694 in Robstown.

Construction on the $399 million project is due to run from September 2026 to November 2027.

Robstown is a city in Nueces County and a western suburb of Corpus Christi. Hut 8’s site is greenfield land.

Hut 8 announced that it had secured a 15-year, $352 million lease for its 1GW Corpus Christi campus back in May. The deal was set to net Hut 8 $16.8 billion, potentially rising to $25.1bn if all renewal options were taken up.
