The third land acquisition in the past year creates a total expansion capacity of 450+ acres,\u00a05.8M\u00a0square feet of data centre space and more than 750MW of critical IT load across three sites<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DataBank, a leading provider of enterprise-class Edge colocation, interconnection and managed services, has announced the development of a 480MW data centre campus on 292 acres of land in Red Oak, TX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has dramatically expanded its capacity and ability to meet growing demand for data centre space and power being driven by AI applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South Dallas land will become home to the new Red Oak Campus accommodating up to eight, two-storey data centres of 425,000 gross square feet, each totalling as much as 3.4M square feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Phase 1 design of the site will feature four buildings and a 400MW sub-station from Oncor that can deliver up to 240MW of critical IT power with the ability to increase this in Phase 2 for a total of 480MW across all eight buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction at the site has already commenced with an initial Ready for Service date of Q2-2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Oak has become a major sub-market in Dallas attracting the world’s largest cloud and technology providers. DataBank’s campus adds to its already significant presence in the market which includes its headquarters location (DFW1) and six other data centres in the metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This announcement is DataBank’s third new campus announcement in the past 12 months and follows its acquisition of a 95-acre\/120MW campus in the Atlanta market in October 2023 and an 85-acre\/192MW campus in Northern Virginia in November 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When fully developed, the three acquisitions will add more than 450 acres, 5.8M square feet of gross data centre space and 792MW of power to DataBank’s portfolio \u2013 more than doubling its 2.7M square feet and 375MW of power before the acquisitions and positioning it to capitalise on AI-generated colocation demand for years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are excited to announce this significant investment in the Dallas area, which we consider one of the most attractive, long term, and permanent data centre markets in the US,” said Raul K. Martynek, CEO, DataBank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In combination with our Atlanta and Virginia campus expansions, we believe these three sites represent ideal locations for our enterprise, large technology, AI and hyperscale public cloud customers and position DataBank for significant future growth,\u201d added Martynek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new campus and the facilities ultimately built upon them will leverage DataBank’s Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD) which will ensure capacity can be quickly deployed to meet the wide-ranging sustainability and performance requirements of all customers including enterprises, hyperscale cloud providers and emerging AI applications that need the highest possible power and cooling density.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
