US operator TRG Datacenters has broken ground on a new facility in Houston, Texas.

The Tallvine Partners-backed company this week announced it has broken ground on HOU2, the second data center on its Spring, Texas campus.

The purpose-built HOU2, located at 2626 Spring Cyprus Road, will add 24MW across 110,000 sq ft (10,219 sqm). The facility is due to go live in Q4 2026. The facility will use a closed-loop, dry-chiller cooling system.

“TRG’s strong track record of delivering high-quality infrastructure and customer service has brought us to an inflection point, with HOU1 nearly fully subscribed and HOU2 construction underway,” said Christopher Hinkle, CEO of TRG Datacenters. “With secured power capacity on an entitled, operational site that hosts 16 carriers and more than 160 existing clients, the HOU2 expansion provides a level of certainty that our existing and prospective customers can rely on in an otherwise supply-constrained US data center market.”

TRG said its HOU1 data center has maintained 100 percent uptime since going live in 2018, serving more than 160 customers, including multiple Fortune 500 businesses.

Attendees of the groundbreaking ceremony last week included representatives from CenterPoint Energy, Walker Engineering, HTS, Thomas Craig Construction, and Encore Concrete Construction.

“This expansion is fully aligned with Tallvine’s organic growth strategy for the TRG platform and follows accelerating customer demand across the business,” said Mark Clark, partner at Tallvine Partners. “We look forward to supporting TRG’s continued growth in both existing and new markets in the years ahead.”

Traditionally a retail colocation provider, HOU2 marks TRG's entry into the single-tenant/wholesale market. The facility is being offered for pre-lease as a dedicated data center, select few private data halls, and/or anchor tenant + retail colo configuration.

The site will be able to host high-density AI racks, including Blackwell GPUs. The company has operational Blackwells at its HOU1 facility.

Investment firm Tallvine Partners acquired TRG earlier this year, with plans to expand the company’s footprint across the US. The company aims to develop in Dallas, Texas, in the future.
