Plano-based Aligned Data Centers will soon have a new data center campus in Mansfield.
The company announced its planned Dallas-Fort Worth expansion earlier this week. The campus, called D-FW 03, will sit on a 27-acre parcel with an on-site substation. Initial capacity may be available by the end of this year.
The new site is “positioned to meet rising demand for AI, cloud and enterprise applications,” Aligned said in a statement. Last month, the firm announced it had raised $12 billion to meet growing demand.
The firm held a ceremonial groundbreaking for the project in September. Aligned’s prefabricated critical equipment strategy and flexible design allows them to build quickly, the company told The Dallas Morning News.
The wattage for the campus was not disclosed.
Previous filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation show that Aligned plans to build a 430,000-square-foot, two-story data center with a generator yard.
Estimated construction costs were nearly $121 million.
Aligned also partnered with the city of Mansfield to plant native trees in the local area through the Roots for the Future Fund. Mansfield Mayor Michael Evans praised the effort.
Last February, Aligned announced plans to build a two-story data center building totaling more than 450,000 square feet in Plano. The 44-acre site is on the west side of North Star Road.
The company’s flagship data center campus is near Plano Parkway north of Bush Turnpike, where the company already has two large buildings.
Aligned Data Centers has operations in markets in the U.S., Canada and Latin America.
This is one of many ongoing data center projects in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Dallas-based Provident Data Centers announced earlier this year that it would partner with PowerHouse Data Centers to develop a 768-acre data center campus in southern Grand Prairie. The first phase of the campus is estimated to generate at least $5 billion in direct construction, the company said.
