A major new data center development could be coming to Dallas, Texas.

As reported by BizJournals, WHL Dallas 45 LLC has filed to develop a large campus across two adjacent sites in the Lancaster area of Dallas, known as Project Orange and Project Labrador. Combined, the two sites could host 13 facilities across more than 530 acres, totaling more than 2.5 million sq ft (232,258 sqm) and several hundred megawatts.

Project Labrador, located on 419 acres at 1401 Greene Road, would total five two-story data center buildings spanning 215,790 sq ft (20,047 sqm) and four substations, totaling around 1.07 million sq ft (99,406 sqm) of data center space. A previous site plan that received a recommendation of approval from the Lancaster planning and zoning Commission features plans for two data centers and one substation. The project could go live by 2030.

Project Orange, located at 116 acres at 201 Sunrise Road, would total seven 36MW data centers, each spanning around 226,630 sq ft (21,055 sqm), for a total of around 1.5 million sq ft (139,354 sqm) and 252MW.

A separate request to reclassify Alba Road for the projects includes a traffic study, which analyzed the Alba Road Data Center development at “maximum build out with 18 buildings totaling 5,662,400 sq ft of data center use,” suggesting more could be in the works.

Lancaster City Council approved zoning changes for both projects during a meeting this month.

WHL Dallas 45 LLC acquired land in Lancaster from the Dallas Logistics Hub back in 2012. The affiliate is linked to Prime45 Development, a real estate firm owned by local developer Mike Rader.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metro is one of the major data center markets in the US and globally. Skybox, QTS, Yondr, and Stack are also developing campuses in the Lancaster area of the city.

Yondr announced plans for a Lancaster campus earlier this week; the company said its project would total 550MW across 163 acres. The campus is expected to break ground in 2026. Further details on the project weren’t shared.
