The project will join other QTS data centers in Dallas-Fort Worth. The Kansas firm is expanding in Irving, where it converted a former semiconductor plant into a data center campus. They also announced a $220 million data center near the AllianceTexas development in north Fort Worth earlier this year.

D-FW was the second largest data center market in the country as of March, trailing only northern Virginia, according to data from Commercial real estate services firm JLL.
