Digital Realty Trust expands $1b Dallas-area project
Digital Realty Trust has expanded its Garland, Texas, project.
The company, which already received an approval last summer for developing a $1 billion data-center campus on a 47.5-acre site, has recently received the city authority’s approval for expansion of this project.
The addition is 16 acres and an investment increase of nearly $400 million.
The expanded 64-acre campus is expected to be fully developed, in phases, over a 20-year period, and operate more than 160 megawatts of critical IT load. The first phase’s design is in progress, and will be constructed and operational by 2021.
Dallas-Fort Worth is a top U.S. data center market, with major projects under way in the region including Google’s proposed $500 million data center in Midlothian, Facebook’s 150-acre, $1 billion data center in Fort Worth’s AllianceTexas master-planned development, and CyrusOne’s proposed 60-acre, 100-megawatt data center campus in Allen.
