DataBank announced the development of a 480MW data center campus on a 292-acre land in Red Oak, Texas, dramatically expanding its capacity and ability to meet growing demand for data center space and power being driven by AI applications.
Construction at the site has already commenced with an initial Ready for Service date of Q2-2026.
The South Dallas land will become home to the new “Red Oak Campus” accommodating up to eight, two-story data centers of 425,000 gross square feet, each totaling as much as 3.4 million square feet.
The Phase 1 design of the site will feature four buildings and a 400MW sub-station from Oncor that can deliver up to 240MW of critical IT power with the ability to increase this in Phase 2 for a total of 480MW across all eight buildings.
Red Oak has become a major sub-market in Dallas attracting the world’s largest cloud and technology providers. DataBank’s campus adds to its already significant presence in the market which includes its headquarters location (DFW1) and six other data centers in the metro.
“We are excited to announce this significant investment in the Dallas area, which we consider one of the most attractive, long term, and permanent data center markets in the United States,” said Raul Martynek, DataBank’s CEO. “In combination with our Atlanta and Virginia campus expansions, we believe these three sites represent ideal locations for our enterprise, large technology, AI, and hyperscale public cloud customers and position DataBank for significant future growth.”
When fully developed, the three campuses will add more than 450 acres, 5.8 million square feet of gross data center space, and 792MW of power to DataBank’s portfolio.
