A Kansas-based company is building another data center campus in southern Dallas County.
QTS Realty Trust is slated to build a more than 413,000-square-foot, two-story building with office and shell data hall space near Lancaster, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
The site and campus pre-positioning work is expected to begin in November and be completed by December 2025. Estimated construction costs are $288 million, according to the filing. The filing did not disclose wattage.
Dallas-based Corgan Associates was listed as the project’s design firm.
“We look forward to expanding our footprint in Dallas to meet growing demand from our customers in the market,” QTS representative Sarah Wurth said in a statement. “We are investing in this region as a long-term partner and will ensure our growth is beneficial to the community.”
State filings call the facility QTS DFW2-DC1. It is located at 303 Mason Road, Lancaster.
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.
