Dallas-based Prime Data Centers has big plans for Dallas-Fort Worth.
The company already owns data center space in Dallas along Interstate 35 near Regal Row and is in the early stages of planning three two-story facilities on a site near Aledo Street and Chapin School Road in southwest Fort Worth, as well as three more in Garland.
The new data center space will be spread across six separate facilities totaling 267,000 square feet.
The three Fort Worth buildings will provide 48 megawatts of power, according to state filings. The wattage was not disclosed in the filing for the Garland building, which is on Arapahoe Avenue between Garland and Holford streets.
The three facilities in Fort Worth are estimated to cost more than $1.5 billion combined, while the three facilities in Garland could cost more than $1.3 billion, according to the filing.
Construction on the Fort Worth building is scheduled to begin in September and be completed in early 2026. The Garland building is scheduled to begin in July and be completed in September 2026.
The design firm behind the piece is Gensler.
Demand for data center space continues to be reflected in the number of ongoing and announced developments.
