Campus at a Glance
QTS's South Dallas campus (building code DFW2) sits in Wilmer, about 15 miles south of downtown Dallas, between Sunrise Road and Mason Road south of Belt Line Road, on the Wilmer-Lancaster city line. Stream Data Centers' DFW-B and DFW-C campuses border it to the west and north.
Land. QTS assembled about 265 acres through single-purpose LLCs between October 2023 and June 2025:
- The Dassons 100 Addition on Belt Line Road, about 100 acres: four building lots held by QTS Dallas I DC1 to DC4 LLCs, plus a 6.3-acre infrastructure lot held by QTS Dallas Infrastructure I LLC.
- About 113.5 acres between Sunrise Road and Mason Road (QTS Dallas II LLC, bought April 2024), split between Lancaster and Wilmer.
- About 53.8 acres east of Mason Road on a plat named DFW2 (QTS Dallas III LLC, bought March 2024 and June 2025).
Development. QTS registered its first building with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation in September 2024 and had filed seven two-story buildings by April 2026. Corgan Associates and Highland Associates designed them. QTS lists South Dallas as "In Development."
Power. Oncor serves the campus. QTS holds a separate 6.3-acre lot for campus electrical infrastructure. Oncor is expanding its nearby Wilmer 138-kV substation into a 345/138-kV switchyard, adding two 345/138-kV autotransformers and two new 345-kV circuits from Watermill Switch. ERCOT's Technical Advisory Committee endorsed the $158.2 million project in January 2025. Oncor bought 62.3 acres beside the substation in November 2025.
