DataBank has announced the development of a 480MW data center campus in Red Oak, Texas, expanding its capacity to meet the increasing demand driven by AI applications.
The 292-acre "Red Oak Campus" in South Dallas will feature up to eight 2-story data centers, totaling 3.4 million square feet. Phase 1 will deliver 240MW of critical IT power by Q2-2026, potentially expanding to 480MW.
This is DataBank's third major land acquisition in the past year, following developments in Atlanta and Northern Virginia. When fully developed, the three acquisitions will add more than 450 acres, 5.8M square feet of gross data center space, and 792MW of power to DataBank's portfolio, more than doubling its 2.7M square feet and 375MW of power before the acquisitions, and positioning it to capitalize on A.I.-generated colocation demand for years ahead.
"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 center markets in the United States," said Raul K. Martynek, DataBank's CEO. "In combination with our Atlanta and Virginia campus expansions, we believe these three sites represent ideal locations for our enterprise, large technology, A.I., and hyperscale public cloud customers and position DataBank for significant future growth."
The new campus will leverage DataBank's Universal Data Hall Design to support enterprises, hyperscale cloud providers, and AI applications needing high power and cooling capacity.
