Developers have acquired a more than 100-acre building site in Lancaster with plans to build a major technology complex.
Dallas-based Bandera Ventures bought the property at South Dallas Avenue and Old Red Oak Road, east of Interstate 35E. The purchase for the Lancaster Data Center Campus property signals the latest data center project headed to southern Dallas County.
“Skybox Datacenters and Bandera are partnered on that site,” said Haynes Strader, chief development officer for Skybox. “It will be a multi-building campus.”
Strader said additional details will be announced in coming months.
This represents the third joint venture project between Skybox Datacenters and Bandera Ventures, with previous projects in Houston and Plano. Skybox has additional campuses in Austin, Chicago, Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley.
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the country’s fastest growing data center markets.
More than 2.2 million square feet of data center projects were in D-FW’s development pipeline at the end of 2022, according to a new report from commercial property firm Cushman & Wakefield.
Several major data center campuses are located in southern Dallas County and Ellis County. Compass Datacenters LLC owns more than 200 acres on Houston School Road near Interstate 35E, where it is building the data center. Google has a data center in Ellis County and land for a second facility.
