PowerHouse data centers is set to expand further in Texas, with plans for a new campus outside Fort Worth.

First reported by NBC and others, Kimley-Horn has filed for the development of a data center on approximately 87.96 acres of land in the town of Westlake.

Westlake is a town in Denton and Tarrant counties, located north of Fort Worth.

The project is set to be located at 13580 Denton Highway, at the northeast corner of the intersection of United States Highway 377 and Westport Parkway.

Known as the Circle T Data Center, site plans suggest up to four 300,000 sq ft (27,870 sqm) buildings are planned, totaling 300MW.

The listed owner is Circle T Owner LP, with AREP and PowerHouse CEO Doug Fleit named as the contact. AREP and PowerHouse representatives presented the project to officials during a town meeting this week.

The land is currently zoned as planned development. City documents note the first data center is allowed by-right, but all successive data centers would require the approval of a specific use permit.

The Westlake department of planning and development had recommended approval of the site plans, and the town's planning and zoning commission approved the proposals this week.

According to a post on the town of Westlake’s website, PowerHouse has paid Oncor to bring a 350MW substation to Westlake at no cost to residents. The substation will power the data center and the town’s pump station.

“Our residents expect thoughtful planning, transparency, and a commitment to protecting what makes Westlake such a special place to call home,” said Westlake Mayor, Kim Greaves. “This project has been carefully evaluated to ensure it meets our high standards while providing meaningful long-term benefits for our community. The data center will expand our tax base, strengthen funding for public infrastructure and Westlake Academy, and help reduce the tax burden on our residents, all while having minimal impact on daily life.”

Founded in 2022, PowerHouse is a wholly-owned division of American Real Estate Partners. The company has projects in operation and development across Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. The company’s pipeline reportedly totals more than 8GW of capacity.

The company has an existing presence in Texas: in March, it topped out a 201MW data center in Irving, Dallas, and it is currently developing a 768-acre campus with Provident Data Centers just south of Dallas in Ellis County. The firm also looks set to develop on Tract-owned land outside Austin.

In a presentation to Westlake officials, the firm lists 11 active and planned projects in Texas, totaling 10GW.
