Tract is looking to develop another data center park outside Austin, Texas.
First reported by BizJournal, Tract said that it's under contract for up to around 2,000 acres along Farm to Market Road 2720 during an October 2 meeting of the Uhland City Council.
Uhland is a city outside Lockhart in Caldwell and Hays counties, about 30 miles south of Austin.
Further details of Tract’s plans for the land haven’t been shared – presentations seen by BizJournal suggest the company will reveal more once it files to amend an existing 2017 development agreement for the site.
The current owner of the land is Arizona-based Walton Global Holdings LLC, which at one point earmarked the property to be part of the Caldwell Valley mixed-use district.
Chipmaker Micron was also previously considering the area as the home of a new chip fab site, but instead settled on a site in New York.
The site is close to land that Prime is set to develop into data centers.
Tract and a number of local officials didn’t provide comment to the publication.
Founded by Cologix founder Grant van Rooyen, Tract develops master-planned data center parks on which other companies can develop facilities. Its projects often span thousands of acres, with the company filing for permission for dozens of buildings ready for other companies to build.
The company has large landholdings in Reno, Nevada; Richmond, Virginia; Phoenix, Arizona; Eagle Mountain, Utah; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
