With demand for data center space growing in North Texas, local operators are expanding their facilities.
NTT Data is making a major addition to its tech campus in Garland on Lookout Drive near Bush Turnpike. The company also has a data center in Plano on Plano Parkway near Custer Road and a large office in Plano’s Legacy business park.
In Garland, plans have been filed with the state for two expansions to NTT’s more than 40-acre campus. The over $50 million in work will start late this year, with an estimated completion at the end of 2024.
The almost 300,000 square feet of construction includes “additional office space and adding equipment to data vaults,” according to details provided to the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation.
Architect Page Southerland Page designed the project.
NTT’s Garland data center expansion is one of several such projects in Dallas-Fort Worth.
In Allen, CyrusOne is working on a $50 million expansion of its data center near U.S. Highway 75. The more than 82,000-square-foot project will include “fit up of existing shell space for new data hall and associated equipment galleries,” according to the state filing.
CyrusOne broke ground in 2017 on the first phase of its 66-acre Allen data center campus.
One of the biggest D-FW data center projects is in Red Oak south of Dallas. That’s where Addison-based Compass Datacenters is building a $100 million, 250,000-square-foot expansion to its 200-acre campus near Interstate 35E.
Compass Datacenters is being acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan in a deal estimated at around $5 billion.
D-FW is one of the fastest growing data center markets in the U.S. with more than 2 million square feet of projects in the works. Demand for local data centers is growing along with population and increased digital traffic.
