Iron Mountain is targeting a new data center development outside Austin, Texas.
First reported by BizJournal, the company is targeting a campus outside the city of Hutto in Williamson County.
The city of Hutto city council last week saw a presentation from Iron Mountain for its Taylor Meadows data center development as part of a sanitary sewer service request.
The project covers about 500 acres off FM3349, on land north of Norman Crossing and south of the Samsung semiconductor plan in Taylor.
Full details haven’t been provided, but up to seven buildings are planned and an on-site substation. The first grid-connected buildings could come online around 2030, but the company is also considering natural gas behind-the-meter options to bring capacity online sooner.
The site would rely on a closed-loop cooling system. During the city council meeting, the company noted the proposed data centers would use less water than a previously planned residential development proposed on a portion of the site.
Iron Mountain has around 415MW of colocation and hyperscale capacity in 21 markets across seven countries and three continents.
This would be Iron Mountain’s first data center development in Texas.
Across the US the firm has data centers in operation and development across Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Denver, Colorado; Kansas City, Missouri; Miami, Florida; Edison, New Jersey; Dayton, Ohio; Boyers, Pennsylvania; Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona; and Manassas and Richmond, Virginia.
